Maxie's pad

Upon a brief visit with my 94 year old Great-Aunt Maxie today, I decided I would like to create a book of wisdom for my daughters. A lovely gift for them upon reaching a certain age.

Advice from women I love. Women who may, or may not be on this earth when my girls become women and such advice becomes beneficial. I would collect sentiment on many a topic. Including but not limited to:
life
love
friendship
loss
regrets
missed opportunities
life lessons
beauty
smarts
cooking

I should send Aunt Maxie a notepad and ask her to scribe as much as her fraigle hands can muster. Something I wish I had done with her sissy, my grandmother. Of course, this grand notion of sending requests along with paper, instructions and return (postage paid) envelope, will likely not materialize.. .I suppose I should include a topic on procrastination.
