When I visit my mom in Virginia, I often leave little post-it notes with happy messages around her home before I leave. This visit was no exception. I left messages that said things like, “This pencil loves you, but not as much as I love you,” and “This stereo loves you, but not as much as I love you,” and “This ginger snap loves you, but not as much as I love you.” You get the idea. I would’ve left 2 more, but the damn cats wouldn’t stay still long enough to tape the post-it notes to them.
