It reads, "Dearest Mom, I love you, oh, so much. ♥ always, Abby". After I read it, I just sat there and took it all in. Talk about making my day! I don't need four page letters or lavish gifts to know that I'm loved. All it takes is a few simple words from my girls or my hubby for them to let me know that I'm important to them.
I tore off the page that she'd written on and wrote the date and year on the back of it. I put it away with all the other notes my girls have written to me over the years that I cherish dearly. I love being a mom because often what you give away comes back to you tenfold!
Just wanted to add here that I'm sure you've been following all those storms that have devastated many parts of the south. Tuscaloosa, AL, was completely wiped out and I think the death toll has now reached 128 in that state alone. North Georgia was, also, hit pretty hard last night with 11 fatalities at last count. Let's not forget the folks in MS., TN, and VA. The number of fatalities is expected to climb. To say that the situation is heartbreaking is an understatement. Lives have been forever changed. Let's all continue to lift those affected up in our prayers and let this serve as reminder of how precious life really is. Never let a moment slip by that you don't tell those closest to you that you love them...because you just never know.

Oh that was so sweet!
Sweet! I love all of those sweet little notes! I have a file full of cards and notes from the kids. So sweet!
The devastation from those tornados is unimaginable. I agree with what you said about telling the ones you love that you love them. We say it 50 times a day. You just never know.
Its notes like that that I'm sure make the job of being a mom so worth every moment...
what a precious daughter!!!!
It is moments like this that we moms cherish so much and hold on to when times are not as easy. You're raising your children well, my friend.
My daughter is going to be 21. Daughters are great.
I live in Oklahoma and love the South. Love Arkansas. Used to live in Georgia and still want to.
Got in touch with my family in Huntsville and Tuscaloosa and they are all ok. I was worried.
Thanks for following me. Following back. Will look forward to checking in on ya!

Yes, we are doing double time prayers over here for all the people affected in the South.
So sweet...my mom is 80 and still has something I wrote for her when I was about 10 years old. I save texts my girls send me that are especially sweet...I hate to delete those!
Stay safe!
