When my older daughter was 6 she wrote a “Happy Birthday” letter to Taylor Swift. At the last moment, I threw in a regular #10 SASE, not expecting anything. About 6 months later the SASE came back to us. In it was a computer-printed letter with a picture on it, very Taylor-esque in its wording. However, across the top, in Sharpie, was this: Dear Deborah, Thank you so much! Love you, XOXO Taylor. (My girl’s first reaction: “SHE SPELLED MY NAME RIGHT!!!”) That letter is among my girl’s most prized possessions, and she’s 21 now.
