oh she reacted as you'd expect, sometimes with a bit of disdain if i did it myself and other times all fawning with love and attention if i found a card that was more apt for her and for us.
i think i'll just help my son make a card and be done with it. as much as i'm still in love with her i simply cannot take what is going on any longer, i don't particularly deserve it, though i may have earned some of it.
