So now that Amara has a computer and email I thought it might be fun to share/save some of them here — Marzie Mail.
Now for this first one to make sense you need to know that Grampy lost his uncle last week which was very sad. You also need to know that we have lots of rituals with Amara. One of them includes one of us giving the other one hugs, kisses, tickles, pokes and spider bites!

I love family rituals and words that have special meaning only for the family. I’ve often thought that if I ever write a book that would be the topic.
That is very sweet. You and Grampy have such a wonderful relationship with Amara! Thank you for sharing little bits of it with us!!
I love sharing her with you! You are the best sister/aunt ever! xoxoxo
Rituals make a family, that’s for sure. I love the * for the spider bites! Cute!
I love that your rituals can now be used for comfort. What a wonderful lesson.
She and her Grampy have such a close and special (and often very silly) relationship. Makes a Grandma proud.
That is STILL so sweet! I’ll have to remember the spider bites.
I think we are going to be doing this 20 years from now! She still gives me hugs, kisses and pets to take home with me when I go home. She is such a little sweetie.
Ha! That’s so cute! What a little smartie!
