Noted

I showed my daughter a note that she had written to me when she was younger. In somewhat jagged printing, it said:

I do not love you, Dad.

She couldn't believe that she'd given that to me -- or that I cherished it.

  1. That may be worth framing.

  2. Might be right. Though I think it would embarrass her.

    My Daughter & I have a "thought" box.. I once wrote that I was afraid she didn't need me as much any more. She write me back, not to worry, I will always need you Mommy.. I still have it.. years later!

  4. Oh, yeah. We've noticed that in the last year, she's been less moody. Not that she ever was particularly so, but there were times.... She can still get agitated, but its almost as if its more of a grown-up thing. Which, by and large, I like.

    Except that it does lead to wanting to date.....
