My mom is one of the most creative, loving, hilarious, and wonderful people in the world. She’s the sort of person that brings delight and laughter wherever she goes. It is the highest stroke of good fortune and grace that I get to be her daughter.
In honor of her birthday week, I decided to send her a package of a few small surprises, gift-wrapped with love and vibrant color, plus a few sweetgum fruit and peacock feathers (my favorites) thrown in for good measure. I made the wrapping paper from a re-used grocery bag, joss paper purchased years ago in Oakland’s Chinatown, and pages from old magazines. Love you, Mom!
