I love hearing all these wonderful stories.<br /><br />I hadn't thought of it from the perspective of a mother, or mother-in-law, giving her children stories, but that's fantastic! What a wonderfully personal touch, something that can add to the bond you share as a family.Karen Woodwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497346859460691324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939271308870333669.post-73596370802730125642012-12-27T15:11:41.910-08:002012-12-27T15:11:41.910-08:00I just printed out and wrapped up the full manuscr...I just printed out and wrapped up the full manuscript of an earlier unpublished novel and gave it, along with other gifts, to my daughter and daughter-in-law. There are definitely some cringe-worthy moments in that novel, but there are also parts I love. Both daughters have been after me to let them read it for a long time, so finally I gave in. They were thrilled and I look forward to their Charlotte Rains Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657052065864065323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939271308870333669.post-75665328502405477312012-12-26T23:26:02.993-08:002012-12-26T23:26:02.993-08:00That's so sweet!

I can see the work that goes into it, I like to think if I know the person well that I can read between some of the lines. This Christmas both my kids gave me stories. The eldest sent me three word files on the 23rd and her little sister placed her story in a sealed envelope under the tree. The anticipation was exhilarating. KnowingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
