For Max

Ruth's baby brother, Max, was born shortly after noon today.  I wasn't sure if the reality of another sibling to look after had truly sunk in, considering she's seven hundred miles away from him, but then she gave me this...

She told me not to read it - just to fold it up for her, put it in an envelope, and mail it to her brother so he could read it when he was old enough.

I followed every single one of her directions (except the first one) and I am so glad I snuck a peek before I put it in the mail for her.

Max is one lucky little boy.

Love,
me
