Friday Letters

Dear Children, this week flew by. It's been quiet around here. Dear Hailey, you spent four days at girls camp. I had no idea how much noise one 13yr old girl creates. It's been very quiet with you gone. I am glad you had fun even though you were home sick. Dear Kade, after telling your sis you wouldn't miss her at all, she had only been gone a matter of hours before you were bored and admitted that she found things for you two to do. Good thing you had Scout Day camp one day this week. Dear Little Girls, I planned to do fun things with you this week, but you mostly entertained yourselves. You been so good. Dear Headache, you took out an entire day. The day I had plans for the girls. Instead I spent the day in bed trying to survive. I was not happy about this. Dear Allergies, I'm not sure what is in the air, but I had me one doozy of an allergy attack. It sure is miserable. Dear Family, I'm glad I got to come and spend time there. It was really nice for me. It makes me miss you. Dear Dad, I hope you have a great Father's Day. I am one of the lucky ones to get to have you as my Dad. I Love You!!! Dear Will, I can't fully express my gratitude to you for stepping in and being such a wonderful Father figure to my children. For helping me raise them, for loving them, for letting them love you, for all the countless things you do for them. You are such a wonderful Father to your children. Thank You for sharing that with mine too. I hope you know how much this means to us. Dear Self, sometimes life is so hard. Sometimes life being hard makes us so much more grateful for the blessings. I'm thinking that I will never be done learning patience in this life. Even though I get a steady stream of trials, it gives me the opportunity to have a steady stream of faith if I chose to. Faith is better than fear.
