why no.. this isn't awkward at all..
Dear Children, you are growing up too fast I wish life would slow down a little. Dear Lori, you are the best Vt/Scout leader. Thanks for having us over Kade was in heaven with an air soft gun war. My kids think you are so cool. I admire you. Dear Kaden, you did so great at your basketball game, I love to watch you improve and learn new things. Dear Headaches, you can strike anywhere. Kind of like sadness. With in ten minutes I can have a blinding headache or crushing sadness. Headaches and sadness suck the life out of you. Dear Nephew, it is strange that you are old enough to just up and move across the country, love you. Dear Hazel, up all night with you and a fever, I hate it when you aren't feeling good. Dear Shots, getting all of my immunizations and that darn tetanus shot, I had three shots and blood drawn because I have no records. Why do I have to have two TB tests for school? I was very brave, Hazel on the other hand cried all the way home because she was scared I was going to cry. After checking my titers I didn't need half of the shots I got. My arms are sore. Dear Prayer, I have had two prayers answered this week. Very specific things too. I love it. Dear Awkward, running into a metal pole in the middle of the grocery isle with my cart while looking at my list. I had a headache. After that Hazel kept saying watch out mommmy every time I passed someone. Dear Life, having to start over on the divorce papers and do all of the paper work to sell my house, makes me want to just sit there and cry. Dear Self, I can do hard things, even with a huge headache.
