A note from my daughter...

Several weeks ago my daughter Olivia absconded with my cell phone.  Upon its return, I discovered the following note:

"Hi, Mom, this is my note to you. You are the most amazing person I've ever met. When I grow up I want to be just like you. You have impacted my life greatly, and I love you for trying so hard to please everybody, even if they don't deserve it. You have been the best mother, role model, and friend I could ever hope or wish for. I thank God for giving me you every day. Love, your daughter Olivia."

There are a number reasons why I cherish this note--the author, the content, the fact that it was written without obligation on an ordinary day.  I don't remember anything about that day, but I know that it wasn't Christmas or my birthday or Mother's Day.  I don't remember if it was a good day or a bad day, but I do remember the way my daughter's note made me feel--loved, admired, and appreciated.

Happy Mother's Day young and old, new and seasoned, past and future...today and every day.
