Lil Muse Lily

A place inspired.

snail mail

i think i have mentioned on here how awful (like really, really awful) i am at printing out pictures and going to the post office

the other day while skyping with my parents, my mom asked (more like begged) me for some recent pictures of her only grand daughter (no guilt now)

of course i said yes but i thought: ugh! now i have to put pics on a disc, walk to cvs, stand at the machine and do all of that… (you would think she asked me for the impossible)

then i had the bright idea to go onto cvs online (cause can’t you do just about everything online?) and see if i could just upload the pics instead of having to do all of the listed above

and yes!!!!! i did it

i uploaded the pics and picked them up the next day (could have been the same day)

Lily had recently watched a sesame street episode where they talked about writing and mailing letters and so that’s what we did yesterday

i had her write/draw cards for family members, we included the pictures and then we walked over to the post office where she handed the letters to the mail rep and watched her weigh and put stamps on every single envelope

it felt great to get some love out to family by snail mail (while teaching Lily a little lesson along the way)

it’s nice to get some mail love instead of just bills and junk mail

Lily and William

Lily is really missing her friend William who coincidentally was born on her due date

most of Lily’s friends are girls so it’s nice when she takes to a boy the same way

William spends his time between miami and nyc

he went back to nyc not too long ago for the summer and any time Lily and i go to flamingo park or flamingo pool, Lily asks for her friend William because she so enjoys their usual play dates

i don’t blame her

William is so sweet with her and they share the same quirky way of playing and imagination

hopefully he will return soon…

letter from a mother to a daughter

“My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don’t interrupt to say: “You said the same thing a minute ago”… Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep. When I don’t want to take a bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl? When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don’t look at me that way… remember, honey, I patiently taught you how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair and dealing with life’s issues every day… the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If I occasionally lose track of what we’re talking about, give me the time to remember, and if I can’t, don’t be nervous, impatient or arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you. And when my old, tired legs don’t let me move as quickly as before, give me your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked. When those days come, don’t feel sad… just be with me, and understand me while I get to the end of my life with love. I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and joy we shared. With a big smile and the huge love I’ve always had for you, I just want to say, I love you… my darling daughter. “

in honor of mother’s day tomorrow i decided to share with you this letter that was passed around on fb

it’s a good reminder that one day we will need the same love, compassion, patience and support we once did when we were little

i hope Lily will be there for me like i am here for her
