April 21

I was just in Los Angeles and finally saw the baby book that so many of you contributed to.

I was really moved that you all spent time and effort to write from the heart no matter what your native tongue or how time-consuming the effort might have been.

Thank you for sharing your hopes, dreams, losses, personal experiences with, essentially, a complete stranger in an effort to enhance my experience of new motherhood. It was fascinating and moving.

And thank you too to those who made donations to the AJS. I know for certain that those donations will have such a massive impact on the lives of the receivers that you should all be very proud of yourselves for contributing whatever you were able at the time.

Thank you from me, thank you from them, and thank you from Oscar.

Sincerely,

Gillian.
