Hand written inscription from a book we found at DI. "Letters to My Son", Kent Nerburn

Maybe some of the advice
in this book will be a substitute
for the things your father may
have said. I've read it & it does
have some good ideas.

Merry Christmas

I found this entry both intriguing and tragic. On first read I thought the mother must be attempting to make up for ill advice she imagines the father had given. I later considered that there was perhaps some kind of separation, divorce, abandonment or possibly an early death.
