Would I be going against the principles I am teaching my children?

[Proud Mommy]

Me and my grandmother are HUGE Nancy Grace fans. My grandmother's birthday was last month, and I found the email to Nancy Grace's producer. I told him about how my grandmother had basically raised me and taught me to be the woman I am today, one reason we both love Nancy Grace is she stands up for children and victims of abuse etc. Which really hits home, because I was abused as a child. Anyway, Nancy Grace sent my grandmother a beautiful autograph picture for my grandmother's birthday. But she did not personalize it, when I say that I mean she did not put "To Mary Jane Happy Birthday" all she put was "Seeking Justice-Nancy Grace" now I know that picture would mean so much more if it was addressed to her, should I go back in and right it up at the top or would this go against the principles I am raising my children in about not lying? I want to be the best mom I can for our one and two year old, please any replies would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

If you have to ask, then it probably isn't something you should do. Your children don't know any better, but if you are asking then it seems you carry some guilty feeling about it. The less guilt you carry with you, the better is what I like to think. There are enough mistakes to be made to feel guilty about without creating situations for yourself.

I am sure your grandmother will appreciate the thought behind the picture, a special gift from a grand daughter who loves her very much, even if it doesn't mention her personally.

I don't think you should but that's just me. I'm sure it will still mean a ton to her. If she ever finds out that it's fake that will just crush her.

I think you should leave the photo as is .Put it in a nice frame and give as is.Your mother will love it .By you tampering with it ,will change the true meaning...A signed photo from a hero is great,what a thoughtful gift.The truth ALWAYS comes out!!!(Sooner or later) I'm sure she'll be over joyed( I would be)

When in doubt, get it out. Don't seek backup for bad decisions. If it's something you'd fuss about it- fighting that you think it's okay, then do it.
