picture colored in by kaylee sent to her friend lilly
kaylee's been writing " i {heart} u" for some time now. yesterday she wanted me to show her how to cut paper hearts so i did. she then would write her name or mine and i heart u on them and drop them in a basket to send me secret mail. she's just the sweetest love bug and i totally love her!
since my latest "mean girl" incident last week, i've been working on being a nicer, better person especially to mike and the kids. without intentionally doing so, sometimes when speaking i get short and defensive. growing up, i felt that i had to always defend myself so it became natural. i see the kids are starting to do it too. i want to break that cycle.
and speaking of getting some perspective. this morning i decided to catch up with nie nie dialogues to see how stephanie, her husband and their 4 kids were doing. stephanie and her husband were in an awful plane crash last august leaving stephanie in coma and 80+% of her body burned. she is now able to blog again-sharing her life after the accident. i find her to be a beautiful person and wish i had just even 1% of her bravery, heart, love and unselfishness.
Thanks so much for sharing the link to Stephanie's blog. I stayed on their forever reading what had happened and how she's making her way back each day. It really impacted me.
