Baby gifts
- Teddy – Does your daughter have blue Flynn eyes or green McNeil ones? I heard she was born last Wednesday.
- Peepo! Baby Book – I imagine your voice reading to her. It's been so long, I miss you.
- Hoodie 3-6 months – Can I see her? Please?
- Socks – I would open my arms and say, ‘Let me hold her, you get some sleep’.
- Wrapping Paper – When you open the door to the postman and see my handwriting please don’t recoil. Don’t tell him to take it back.
- Card – I’m so sorry, love, Mum.
