It was the friendship and love she had given to me and to our kids and to all her friends and family. You could 16 it on every page.
I wrapped it up and 17 it home. “Happy birthday，sweetie，” I said.“It's not a frozen dinner or a video, but it's 18 you deserve.” She cried. She doesn't 19 like to cry, but I think she likes the book. She's said so many times. And every time I remind her
20 putting it together was a gift to me.
