Hi Lispol,

I would put the most beautiful ones in frames, give them to her as a birthday/Christmas gift. Start with only one or two.

She’ll say an awkward, “Oh, thank you.”

You’ll say, “You should really have these.”

You’ll put them center stage in the kitchen/dining room/living room. Your mother/sister will remove them. You’ll do it again the following year. You have a million of them. When you run out of artwork, the cards put in a photo album.

See, no. She doesn’t get to do this. You are the beloved child. It’s time they are reminded of that. You’re not going away. You are not a memory. Neither are you your own memory. You do exist.

Best,

Inky
