My mothers creative writing journals from the early 80's. The tape impression is funny, especially since it kind of disappeared in the 20 + years. I also quite like them because it makes me feel like there is a bit of her in me. Granted I think she mostly wrote poetry, and I'm more of a creative writing person, but its nice to know that you have something in common. Because it sometimes seem like my brother and my sister have all the attention because my sister is smart, and my brother is probably going to get a cross country scholarship one day because he is that good. I mean those are both things my mom was good at. But knowing that she used to write and take photos makes me feel included too. I wish I had more in common with my dad. I try- but he doesn't take well to me making comments on his photography- and he hasn't done it in forever.
