I've been spending some quiet lone time with a flu bug for the past several days. Emma stayed with her dad, to avoid repeating my experience. Today I'm well enough to have her home again. After a huge hug when picking her up from school, Emma eagerly announced she wrote a letter to me.
After getting home this is what I read:
Dear Mommy
I hope you feel better. I LOVE you SOOO much! I feel sooooooo bad for you. Do you know why I love you SO much? Because you love me the way I am. And no matter what, even if I get MAD! You still love me. I hope you get better.
Love,
Emma
P.S I LOVE YOU!
My heart is so full and content. You see, I was loved as a child. However, be it the Finnish nature or my parents in particular, I translated much of the love being tied to things I did well, or accomplished. Not just me. One of my goals as a mom was to change that message... I think I'm on my way.
