Love Letters

I am working on scrapbooks for my twin senior boys, Fish and Teddy.  I am sorting through old photos. While doing so I came across three letters, one to each boy. I wrote them 3 hours before I met them. I completely forgot I ever wrote them. I gave them to them and stood by them as they read them. They were each touched, even Teddy in his own way. I have to admit to being a little weepy. 

If you've never done it, stop and write a love letter to your kids right now. Express how you feel, how you will be with them always and that you will help them achieve their hopes and dreams. Then fold it up and put it away until they are in high school. It meant something different to each child because they are each in such a different place emotionally. Teddy asked me to put it into his scrapbook because he wants everyone to see it. He wants people to know he has a mom who loves him.

Have a healing, loving day.
