I have had a love-hate relationship with thank you notes for most of my life – I loved the idea of them, but hated writing them. I remember the trials and tribulations that went with thank-you card writing after my Bat Mitzvah. There’s very little that a 12-year-old girl would rather do LESS than sit …

A love letter to my mom
Every once in a while my mom will pick up the phone to find me on the other end saying, “I owe you an apology.”
Her response is usually a stammering, “Oh….uh….okay……..?”
