made me smile


[click here for original note]

Dear Daddy,
I love you Daddy because when I hug and kiss you I feel happy about me.

I found this note from Tess to her Dad while cleaning out a stack of papers. I don't know how old it is, though her handwriting makes it look like it was written at least a year ago. It made me smile when I read it, in fact, I got a little chocked up.

You can never really underestimate the power of being loved.

I hope and pray she will always feel this way and know, no matter what's going on in her life we are always waiting in the wings ready to give her hugs and kisses.

What a totally fantastic note, so well articulated. I love that she ended it with a review of the vowels.

Ah! I love this! Oh man- to have a girl feel that kind of self love at such a young age and so secure- it makes my heart ache in the best way ever. You two are doing good things for those girls! xoxx

Loved catching up on the past few posts..and have to say it was a little bit inspiration that I read today because I have been racking my brain trying to come up with a couple games for the primary age kids for the 24th of July celebration this weekend in our ward & loved the game ideas you had for M's party. And, I think I can adapt a couple of them to use water balloons or ice & it will work perfectly, so thank you! (:

And, I love love love the cake. I think I want that for my birthday-but with real waffle batter! And, if you guys love Nutella, try it mixed around with some Breyer's vanilla bean ice cream. Pure heavenly bliss...I'm just sayin! (:
