a sweet note

by Shawni
After a week of feeling awful (annual allergies melding into bronchitis), and a cough so violent I was sure it would burst my ribs apart, Lucy solemnly handed me this note:

I love the rolling lines, like lush hills creeping up and down.

I love the spelling.

I especially love the exclamation marks.

I held her tight, her smile pressing into me, and told her once again I am the luckiest mother on the planet to get to call her mine.

I think your daughter is in 1st grade? I'm actually pretty impressed with her penmanship and spelling! Also, I like that she promises not to sit down during soccer practice. 🙂

I also received sweet notes from 2 of my children this week and thanks to your blog I took a picture of them so I can remember them!

Sooooo adorable! So fun to see what is going on in her head! What a sweetheart! I'm worried about you too. Are you feeling any better? Hate those allergies! You better come and live here for a couple of months every year!

I love this. It is such a sweet reminder that she understands compassion. You are a wonderful mother and must be teaching her wonderful things through your example.
