Dear Mom,
I love you! I noticed that I am not on your blog though. Why not?
Love,
Shaelynne
Well, I guess that the child that demands my attention, gets it.
So, here's my post just for Shaelynne.
Dear Shaelynne,
I love you very much. You are such a sweet girl. I love that you love to clean my kitchen. I think it's funny that you refuse to go to bed until the dishes are done. I love that a dirty room makes you crazy. It makes me crazy that you hide everything when you clean, so that the room looks wonderful, but the closets and corners are stuffed. I love that you always have your hair done to perfection. I think it's silly that you obsess so much over little frizz that no one ever notices but you.
I love to listen to you sing. You have a beautiful voice. I love to hear you laugh. Your happiness is contagious. I love to see you smile. You brighten my day. You will always have a special place in my heart. After two rowdy boys, you were my first daughter. From the time I was a little girl like you, I dream of the day that I would be a mother. I knew I would have a little girl. I knew she would be beautiful and that I would love her forever. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your mother.
I have a lot to learn from you. You are strong and full of goodness. You hold me to a higher standard then I hold myself and I thank you for that. I make a lot of mistakes and some times we don't get along. I ask you to be patient with me. We are both stubborn, proud and very emotional. I also want you to remember that I have been a young lady before, just like you, and I have felt the same things you feel and experienced the same frustrations and joy that you do. As you grow, my role will continue to change. You won't need me to do as much for you because you will learn to do for yourself. I will become more of a guide and a friend. I want you to know that no matter what happens in your life, no matter what choices you make, no matter what path you decide to travel, I will always walk beside you. I am so proud of you! I will always love you...unconditionally...forever!
Love,
Mom

That was so sweet and exactly what every child needs to hear. I need to make sure my kids know I feel that way about them and no matter what, I will always be there for them.
Sigh. Thanks for the reminder. I totally lost it this morning with my kids. They were fighting form the minute they woke up! I tried to be patient, but right before we left, I totally blew up at them. I felt really bad all morning. I think my kids need a sweet love note like this one...
Beautiful!
The Jenkins family loves you too Shaelynne!!!
There is nothing like a great mother/daughter relationship!!! You two are lucky to have each other!
That was so sweet. I feel like I know her so much better. All your kids are so cute and I love the way you talk about them.
That little note she wrote you is so cute!
