Love Note -- Day Seven


I love my fairy door.

It just reminds me of cute little fairies with iridescent wings, fluttering around. It sits on my shelf with some beautiful fairies waiting for their friends to come out in the middle of the night to play. I've posted about my door before, but I'm doing it again, because it's one of my loves.

My Sixth Love Note

I love my parents.

They have done more for me than I could even describe. They taught me righteous principles, integrity, hard work, patience, humor, and faith. Basically, what a functional family looks like.

I was encouraged to do my best in all that I did, to not be a quitter, that life is hard, but perseverance is key. They taught me that when times get tough, "This too shall pass," so get get up and keep moving.

I have the best time with my parents. We don't have to be entertained. All we have to do is sit and visit and that is all the entertainment we need. They are amazing people. They taught me well. They have supported, encouraged and guided me throughout my life. I am so grateful for them.

I love you, Mom and Dad!

Love Note -- Day Five

I love my children. They are each amazing in their own way.

My oldest is 16, has her drivers permit, loves life, gets excited over the simple things, is an amazing writer and will graduate from high school with her associates degree. (She's way smarter than me).

My second daughter is 14, a high school freshman, an animal lover, has an amazingly sweet disposition, is a talented dancer, clarinet and bassoon player, a villager, a sheep and teacup in the upcoming high school musical "Beauty and the Beast."

My oldest son is 12. He is a talented author and illustrator, a great hugger, a boy scout, basketball player and comedian.

My second son is 8. He is a basketball player, scout, has an amazing smile and cleans his room without being asked. (Why couldn't he have been the oldest?)

They bring lots of joy and laughter into my laugh. I am who I am today because of them.

I love you, my sweeties!
