Put it in writing…

When I was little my dad worked away from home during the week and was only home on weekends.  He would leave really early on Monday mornings before we were awake and there was always a note on the table to each of us written on the back of an old business card.  I mention the “business card” part just to let you know the size.  These were short and sweet but we LOVED them!

My mom also put a note in our lunch box EVERY single day.  She used blank recipe cards and usually had a sticker on one side and a simple note on the other like “be kind today”, or “you were so helpful at supper last night”, etc.  This was very simple but we LOVED them! 

I was cleaning the garage the other day and I came across the box where I saved these - YES - I STILL HAVE THEM!  I sat on the garage floor with tears rolling down my cheeks reading little notes from my mom and dad and I felt like a little girl again for just a moment.

I always felt very loved by my parents while growing up - not a moment that I questioned where I fit in their hearts.  I think maybe these notes had something to do with that.

If you get a moment - write your child a note.  I think they will love it!
