What's today's email to Lily going to say?
Dear Lily Vanilli,
Today is your 4th birthday, and to mark it, I celebrated me. Look at this picture. I look ravishing and wind swept, don't I? Don't worry darling, it wasn't just about me. That man got a look in too, although I couldn't find a picture of him smiling at you, funny that.
Oh Chantilly Lily, the nasty press weren't being kind to me today. They are so invasive of our privacy, demanding more all the time! So I posted a funny video of that man and me dancing around in the labour suite. I was trying to jiggle you out, my love! I'm not sure what that man was doing, though. Maybe he found the gas and air again, huh? Don't be embarrassed! Not of me, anyway! Just knowing that you will see that momma looked heart attack hot in labour makes me happy. I really showed up for you that night, didn't I!
I'm so happy to remember that right at this time I had another secret (one I revealed in my podcast - look in the history apps to find out one one of those was, mine was perhaps the finest example of the craft). My secret? Your name. As I said in my podcast, nobody else would find out until it was a done deal. Not even the lady you were named for. She was, of course, delighted, and you were immediately her favourite great grandchild! And my favourite too!
As Ever,
Momma.
