I know I posted a reply (how much you want to be it ended up on a different thread I am tired today. LOL)

So here I am again lets see if I can post it right this time. LOL

Yes I do think letting her see what you write is the right thing to do. I would suggest the first time choose something that she already knows about or something up beat. and ask a question about it, or even an introducing yourself to her letter. The object is to get her to start communicating with you not scare her away right. There will be plenty of time to share the graphics and so on after she accepts you are there and is willing to write to you. and hear what you write to her. It's going to be ok. The memory piece named Crystal was there before you knew her name. The only difference now is that the two of you will be able to share what you know and be better able to do alot more things than you could on your own for example My memory piece Mary draws and I along with Katherine and Ann like to write. Now our poems and stories can be illustrated because I am (along with Katherine and Ann)learning the information of how to draw that the memory of mary contained. Tee Tee likes blowing bubbles but rarely had the money to buy them so she used what ever she could find - shampoo, laundry and dish soap. Katherine did the shopping and had a business type attitude. Now with these memory pieces working together I don't run out of shamoo and so on. Katherine is learning to have fun and Tee Tee always has bubbles to blow. It is scarey learning to function sharing memories but it is so much better - I have more variety and activities in my life now and can do more things that I didn't know how to do before.
