Hey, Mari

I hate shopping. especially for jeans but thats beside the point. i understand that sense of fatigue and frustration not finding what i need/want. especially when i set out thinking it isn't going to be like mining for diamonds.

hospital visits are hard. especially when you're not feeling good. you don't have to stay long. also, it might be better than you expect. you might find some comfort in seeing your friend as well as vice versa. i don't think the gift is a must also. you are a gift. and your going there. objects are secondary.

nor a particular gift. what about a little bouquet or a little heart cushion or some other little thing like that; maybe you can just go out and let yourself go with what feels right, rather than seek a particular object.

then again, perhaps you have decided it shall be so, in which case i wish you good luck.

has she asked that you be present for the delivery? that would scare me i think.

i wish the best for your friend and her child.

i hope your visit goes ok.
