A loving soul

Faith has the most loving soul of any little girl. She made her own little clipboard the other day and took it out on our walk. She was bound and determined to write things down as she walked. She told me that I could not look at them. She was going to share them with her daddy and not me. Not that it was intended for him, but that it was concerning me and didn't want to let me in on the secret. I just couldn't help myself. At the first opportunity I was given to catch a glimpse of the note, I took advantage of it. I was quickly reminded of just how sweet she is. This note says it all. Before I read the note but before we came inside she had visited her friend Dorothy our neighbor briefly and came running home for supper with her hands behind her back. She was yelling at her brother to not show me the surprise. As she got closer to me she pulled out from behind her back the most beautiful bouquet of daisies. For you mommy because I love you. Champ gave me his small bouquet too. I felt loved. I don't think they'll ever know how special they are to me and I don't think that I will ever really know how much love a child can have for their mother.
