memories ARE precious
to be sure.
grounded into letters on paper.
freed into flight by wings.

i remember summer camps and packing as much as possible into a little suitcase for 3 weeks. at least she has an older sister to borrow things from now and then :)
and it's nice that they'll be together - maybe you'll go visit?

what a beautiful gift
of motherlove
to tuck inside your daughter's

and the birds,
so much love with wings.
Fresh wings and a light heart
to you and your
sweet bird taking flight.
