Love Notes in Bullet Form

Third times a charm?

We're passing the flu around here, and it's my turn to get it. I'm feeling pretty blah! But how can I stay blah! after receiving this e-mail from my 9 1/2 year old daughter?

Dear Mommy,

Here are some reasons to have a mom like you:

* You share your peeps with me
* you tuck me in at night.
* you read me stories
* you love me
* you home school me
* you cook and bake with me
* you teach me
* you let me do sports
* you feed me
* you are wonderful
* you buy me things
* you give me chocolate
* you take me out to eat
* you are not OLD!!!!!!!!!!!
* you care for me
* you teach me about God and Jesus

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love,
Elianna

And just when I was feeling like such a failure.
God knew.
I am so blessed!

Grace and Peace,
Angel

The 'you are not OLD!!!!!' line made me smile.

She was speaking wise words, wasn't she? Rebuking your own words, hmmm?

Aww! I'm so sad to say that I could not read that! I don't know what happened with the blue box that her email was in. So sweet, though, for her to send a message to her mommy!!

It's greek to me! I'm sure whatever she wrote was really cute, though.

Maria said...

Yes, you are blessed!

Sarah said...

Awww, that was sweet (although I'm a little concerned about how she'll feel about you when you are old):~).

Oh, that is precious! God knew just what you needed.

That is so sweet! Knowing that I have stuff like that to look forward to, makes all this nausea so worthwhile! I hope you're feeling better soon.
