When I was little, my mom used to sew blankets and doll clothes for me, but I didn’t really appreciate it —  I wanted store-bought doll clothes and preferred to use other blankets.  But now I think back and I feel awful that my mom spent so much time sewing those tiny doll clothes and all those blankets, and I wish I could have them back!  (My mom hates clutter, so gave all those things away.)  I wish I could go back in time and make my younger self appreciate my mom’s effort.
