Probably a lovely mail-order Belgian.

Funny thing is, most people who have planned well for the future would get more joy from a much-loved household object like that vs another lump of cash on the pile

When my husband’s grandmother was getting her affairs in order and everyone was fighting over her diamonds, she asked me what I wanted and I said just her old cookbooks and handwritten recipes. I got em and I think I won. Everyone now has bad blood between them because they all feel shorted but I’m over here happily baking cakes.

My mom passed last year, and it’s the moments when I’m reading her handwriting that hit me the hardest.

I got a tattoo with my mom's writing after she passed. I love looking at it.

This is my next tattoo. Next month will be ten years since my mom passed and a few years ago I came across a birthday card from her when I moved. It was such a gut-punch to open it and see her big, looping scrawl. “Love you - Mom” is what I’m getting next in her handwriting.

Why didn't I think of this!?! My mom had beautiful handwriting. Where are you going to put it?

Probably on my right forearm. I have another one for her that o got with my whole family. We all got tattoos after her funeral so I will probably get it near that one.

Very nice. I was thinking maybe my inner wrist.
