A letter to my kids.

Savanna, Weylon and OakLeigh,

I just want you 3 to know that mommy loves you more than life itself. I know that there are a lot of times, and it seems like more often than not, that I am grumpy and ornery and take it out on you. I want you to know that I am sorry for those times. I hope that you know how much you mean to me. I want to be the kind of mom that you could come to for ANYTHING. No matter what happens in your life, I will always love you and will always be there for you. NO matter what kind of mistakes or choices you make, good or bad, I will always love you. I will always be there for a hug if you ever need it. I will always try to support you in everything you do. I watch you sleep at night and am amazed at how blessed I am. There was a time in my life that I thought I would never become a mother. I thought I would never have an opportunity to see what motherhood would be like. Then when I was 26 my life turned around. I know that Heavenly Father guided your dad and I together. I know that he answered my prayers, and I found my eternal companion. And then gave me the most wonderful gift He could ever give me. YOU! I hope and pray I can live up to the expectations my Heavenly Father has for me as a mom. I hope that I can teach you in a way that will help you succeed in everything you want. I hope that I can teach you to love your Father in Heaven and Savior Jesus Christ as much as I do. I hope that I can teach you to always be prayerful and get on your knees daily. I hope that I can teach you that you are loved. I hope that I can teach you to love yourself. I hope I can teach you to love others, and to serve others, and to have charity in everything you do. I hope that I can teach you to be honest in your life every day. And to be valiant and to stand for what you know is right. I hope I can teach you that I love you and will do anything for you. I am so blessed and thankful for each of you. For all the qualities you have. Savanna I know I give you a hard time about crying. But I am so thankful that you are so sensitive and caring. Weylon I am thankful you are so stubborn and WONT GIVE UP OR IN till you have your way. OakLeigh I am thankful that you are a little monkey and can make all of us smile with your little quirkiness! I love you all and I hope you know that!

Love Mommy
