want to share the precious homemade card words that my 16 y/o daughter ~E sent me last night. she is the one who is coming home from the RTC in utah tentatively in november. the sweet ~E is shinning again and it is a joy to hear it and see it again.
“happy birthday, i should say happy beleted birthday because this card is late. i hope you had a great birthday. i’m glad to have such a fun mom who is a kid at heart, likes to make things and who does things for me even though she doesn’t always have too. i look forward to our future mommy dauther dates and talks. there is no one like family. i’ve had friends and boyfriends that left, which makes me realize that family really are always there. this has taken me so long to accept. now as i get older i find out what’s truely important in life. you are mom and will always be my mom and i am glad for that. i hope to see you soon. your little girl, ~E”
