Love Letters

“If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart, and I’ll stay there forever.”
-Winnie the Pooh

With that thought in mind, I thought I’d share with you one of my most meaningful things I do for my boys. A few months ago I got the idea to write letters to my kids that they can read later. I wanted to capture these days and precious moments and be able to share them with them. Also, the letters can be with them when and if I am ever not.
I don’t write everyday, or every week. Just whenever inspiration strikes and I want them to know something.
Here’s an example, it’s my first letter to my 2 year old:
My Dearest Liam,
Words cannot express how much I love you. I’ve decided to begin writing letters to you and your brother so that hopefully one day you can see what I see in you. Today you are 2 years old and growing fast.
The other day I thought to myself, when was the last time I rocked you to sleep? The truth is, I’m not sure. It seems like you’re getting to be such a big boy who doesn’t need mommy as much. While I am so proud of you, it breaks my heart and each time you run to me to be held I cherish it and hope it’s not the last.
I’m so excited about writing these letters. I hope that when you read them, you will smile.
All my love,
Mommy ❤
