A Note For My Daughter

I've decided to find a poem and make a special note for my dear daughter. She is definitely not the 'mushy' type. Expressing words of adornment or appreciate to her is not exactly comfortable for her. At the same time, she so totally appreciates it in her heart. She cherishes things like gifts and child memories, songs, and events.

I'm not particularly creative when it comes to poems. So, I have found a few that I will put together to make my own. Then I will make a card for it. I just want her to know how special she is to me and how proud I am of her with all that she has been through. I want her to know how I appreciate her strength to overcome so many battles that she has been through at such a young age.

This is what I am going to do...:) I'm going to stop now before I get tearful!

Lori,

I do hope so. She really doesn't like to express emotion. She doesn't like hugs or kisses. That's why I made the card for her. I think people, especially children/young adults, should know how proud we are of them. We all make mistakes and we learn from them. Young people are constantly trying to find their way in life...we adults are too. It's just nice to know we are doing ok :).

I think this is VERY nice. She will love it.

KT,

So far, she hasn't said anything. She has school and work back to back for the past few days. Then they called her in to work again. She just got home about 3:00am.

We'll see what happens when she gets up later today. :)

I'm sure she'll treasure what you've created—even if she doesn't show it now, she will, in the quiet moments, understand the deep and abiding love her mother has for her. More moms need to take the time to put it on paper, so there's something there for a child to hold, to roll around on the fingertips...
