Through the years my mom has kept a journal of letters that she has randomly written to me. She gave me this journal two days before my wedding and I finally read it today. Interestingly enough I found a letter she wrote to me on May 27, 1994-exactly 15 years ago today! I want to aspire to do the same things for my kids one day. My parents are absolutely amazing and I could not be more blessed. Here is the letter that she wrote on this exact day 15 years ago...you may want a few tissues.
Dear Meredith,
I am watching you sleep on the couch as I write. You fell asleep earlier tonight. Tomorrow is Sat. and you will probably sleep late. You have one more week of school and I'm excited about you being at home with me. We are anxiously awaiting for your Baby Sister to be born. I am about 8 months pregnant now and ready to have this baby. God is helping me to be patient. You seem to be happy about us having a baby but you are also very quiet about it. I think you are old enough to understand this will be a change for us. I hope you will see how much I love you even after she arrives. I love you more and more each day. You are a sweet and loving little girl and I am so proud of you! I am getting sleepy now. I hope we will all sleep good tonight.
I love you,
Mom :)
I can't believe how quickly these past 15 years have flown by. Let this be a reminder to breath in every moment you have with your family and friends. Make the most of every opportunity and don't wish the small, seemingly insignificant moments away, they may end up being some of the most important.
