I shared my letters to my mother with P today. He said he often suggests people do this kind of exercise and seemed glad I had done it. He thought there was a lot of good stuff that I expressed and asked if he could copy the letters but I told him to just keep the original as I had taken a photo of them already. I wonder what he does with all the writings I've let him keep. He also wrote me an email to send to my mother because I seem incapable of writing to her and deciding how to address her coming for a visit at the moment. It basically says that I got her email and I'm dealing with some stuff right now and that I will respond to her. I'm very tempted to just send it verbatim although that feels a bit wrong somehow. I also learned today that he was an English major when I told him he writes better than I do. I've always been curious. Guess I could have just asked him.
