On our last day on vacation, I want to say a few things to my children. Honestly, I think we should be saying these things to our kids every day.
Thank you for a wonderful time this week. You teach me things by your innocence. You entertain me in the funniest of ways.
I pray that you will always keep the incredible sense of wonder you have about the world and life. It is so much fun to watch.
I hope you will always stay as close to your siblings as you are today. Stay close to me too. There are phones everywhere! There is nothing more important than family.
Continue to grow up and be smart and curious. It will serve you well.
If you ever feel alone or unsure, turn to one of us or a friend. We all love you and are here for you.
Enjoy life. Don’t be in such a hurry to get to the next thing. If you do, you will miss the here and now.
Love yourself. Love your body. Love your differences.
Enjoy the quite moments and the loud experiences.
You get one chance and every moment counts.
I had a great time this week (despite ourselves!). I hope you did too!
Love Mom
