A letter from Angelena, so touching!

I normally don't share something so personal as a 'letter' for all to see, but for those with children, we don't often get to hear exactly how they feel about us. This came in the mail today, for me, for Mother's day! Thank you for letting me share with you all! This is my incredible daughter Angelena!

"Mom, 

hi Mom! This is going to be a short letter, but I just wanted to tell you that i love you so much. I am learning so much about myself here.  And I love being a missionary.  You really did raise me well, and you have been an incredible example to me!  I want you to be healthy, so you can be there when I have kids, and teach me how you did it all by yourself! 

You are so strong, and I really do admire you! I feel bad for never expressing my appreciation, or treating you like you deserve.  I hope though, that you do know how grateful I am for you, and how much I love you!

Next Monday I'll have a jam packed day. We are going to the Wisconsin Dells!  So I'll write a longer letter next week in the car on the way there. And, read the email to Lucy, and I will write her very soon! 

I love you so much, Ena"

This was in my Mother's day card:

"Mom, I know this Mother's day is different. but I strangely feel closer to you as I serve my mission! You were right-I miss you like crazy! And I love you so much! I am finding that this period of distance just teaches me about how lucky I am to have you in my life! I am always bragging about how incredible you are as a mother.  You are such an example to me.  You give me such love and support while I am out here,  and I can not do this without you! Thank you for everything mom! You are amazing, I love you! Don't ever forget that!  You are the best mom I could ask for, and as crazy as you drive me, I wouldn't change a thing. ! I am so lucky! I know the pictures in here are not much, but I know you like pictures! 

I love you, Ena" 

Thank you all for letting me share this, I haven't stop crying yet! ;) I guess I need to buy stock in kleenax!  Happy Mother's day to all my family and friends who are moms!

Love you all!
