Gift day 29

When I started, 29 days ago,my children couldn't understand my drive to commit myself to this whole challenge, because they think of me as a giving type of person. That's true. But I used the challenge to get myself together, to pick up some of the peaces that were still laying around somewhere.

My gift for today was a letter to condole my daughter's mother in law with the dead of her mother.
