A thought.

I was just typing Andrea an email-- and I signed it "eternally your sister." Then I thought of a cool way for mothers to "sign-off" when writing their children. Observe:

"Dear Son,

I hope this letter finds you and finds you well (and then there'd be something in there about hope being a good thing, yada yada.)

(Then...wait for it...)

Maternally yours,

Mom. "

Man, I feel very proud of this idea. Feel free to use on your present and, or future kids. I know I will. I mean, I won't use it on your kids, just mine. But just my future kids. But that's not to say I presently have kids.....oh, nevermind. This blog didn't have much promise in the first place.
