Today was a good day-

Emma, you joked about having a migraine and how it was a by-product of having been good.  You said you studied, and worked hard, and paid attention and didn’t talk. Whew! that must have been hard for you.  No wonder you got a migraine.  You took your first full pill.  Yeah! it was cut into four pieces no bigger than a peppercorn, each, and you still made a scene – but you swallowed them in less than 7 min.  You’re doing well in Karate – Sensei strengthens you.  He does not provide, merely brings out that which you already have.

Brandon, you seem in good spirits today.  it is always good to see you smile and fell you light hearted and spirited.  it brings me a sense of relief and happiness.  You wrote a good letter to John, I’m proud of you.  It is actually a little stronger than I expected.  Maybe you won’t let people take advantage of you when you get older! 🙂

I only want the best for the two of you.  That does not mean fancy cars and expensive things.  It means the best life – and money cannot buy that.

I love you both sooooo much.

We will never be apart.

Love, Momma
