I laughed so hard when I got that card from Lauren on Mother’s Day!!

The card opens up big and it says:

How ‘Bout a BIG MOM-SIZED HUG?!

Happy Mother’s Day from Me! Me! Me!

Inside she writes:

I Love you very much and even though I don’t show it your opinion really does mean a lot.

I don’t want to disappoint you.

That’s the last thing I want to do.

I’m gonna try my hardest to beat this and with God’s help I know I can.

Please be patient with me.

I Love you very much - Lauren

She doesn’t want to disappoint me just like I never wanted to disappoint my own mother.

What a tragic cycle this can turn into if somebody doesn’t step on it and break it!

I don’t think Lauren reads my blog but just in case she stumbles on this one day..

I hope she is confident and knows just how much her Dad and I love her and that she could never be a disappointment.

We believe in you Lauren, we love you, and you will go far in life.

Life is a journey and you will be just fine. Never forget that you deserve nothing but the best!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
