I just finished reading through the kids’ letters. I had no idea that Gwen planned it all and that they all felt the way that they do. We’ve always had an open and honest relationship, especially in regards to Travis’ role in the family, but I was overwhelmed, honoured, touched and extremely proud that they all loved me enough to
Read moreDear Mum, How are you feeling? I hope you’re not nervous, you have no reason to be, Travis is awesome. I wish I had memories of Dad but unfortunately when you’re two, memories aren’t easy to form let alone hold on to. When you first brought Travis home when I was six, I couldn’t understand why Michael was so territorial,
Read moreDear Mum, I’m so happy that this day is finally here! Are you and Travis happy that this day is finally here? Is it weird to be “making it official” after twelve years together already? I hope you don’t think this is selfish, but I’m just as happy for myself as I am for you, because after an up-and-down five
Read moreDear Mum, I’m so happy that this day is finally here! You and Travis deserve all the happiness in the world. I’m not only happy for you, but also happy for Elaine and I. As you know it’s not only the first time all twelve of us will be together again in years, it will be the first time that
Read moreHi Mum, Congrats on the big day! Twelve years, you two definitely never rushed things did you!? Not like me, always in a hurry, which has served me well on my career path, or at least it did. When I was told that Beijing would be my last hurrah, I was devastated. The track, the AIS, it’s all I’ve known
Read moreDear Mum, I can’t believe this day is finally here! I’m so happy for you and Travis and I know you’re just going to look absolutely gorgeous, I can’t wait to see your dress! So with this wedding, you actually get to have family and friends around, a nice outdoor wedding on thankfully a relatively cool day for December, and
Read moreDear Mum, Happy Wedding Day! I can’t believe this day is finally here after 12 years! I can’t wait! I know things have been awkward for us lately. I didn’t mean to hurt you or the rest of the family with my choice to elope with Peter. I know you didn’t approve of us marrying after only three months of
Read moreDear Mum, Congratulations! Your big day has finally arrived and for the first time in ages, all twelve of us are together under one roof! I wonder when we’ll ever get together again. With Michael’s and Gwen’s babies on the way, especially with the due dates being close together and not far away, we’ll probably be all getting together for
Read moreHi Mum, I hope you like all of our letters, I thought getting all of us to spill our thoughts and feelings and letting you know how much both you and Travis mean to us, would make a great wedding gift. If this fails, we also bought you gifts off the registry :p None of us are reading each other’s
Read moreTo my darling mother, Congratulations on finally getting to the big day! I’m so happy for you and Travis, although I’m not sure how well your first dance is going to go…you’ve been a dream student and Travis is….trying but he really can’t dance to save his life (sorry!) that being said I’m sure you found this out for yourself
