Babooshka

I got my friend C a birthday card with a Russian doll on the front. I'm off to see her tomorrow and we're going to get pampered in a swanky spa. She's had an awful 12 months with her father dying and her mother being diagnosed with a degenerative illness.

I wrote in her card:

Remember that you are like a Russian doll. You carry within you all the women you have been, and all the women you will become, and all the people you love.
