Christmas 2008My 14 year old daughter, Shelbie, bought a Christmas card for me this year.
Yes, you read that right. My teenage daughter...on her own...with her money...on purpose...bought a Christmas Card for me, her mother.
Not only that, but it was one of the sweetest, most touching cards I've ever received - and I'm so proud of it that I had to share it.
A Christmas Letter for My Mother
You'll never know how much it means to be your daughter,
to share my thoughts and feelings with you,
the person who probably knows me better than anyone...
You have a special way of understanding me,
and you always seem to know exactly what I need -
tough-love advice, a stress-relieving laugh, a sympathetic hug...
And even though I don't tell you often enough,
want you to know you mean the world to me,
and I can't imagine my life without your love in it.
Merry Christmas

OMG!! That brought tears to my eyes! I hope my sons will be that sweet!
Awww, That was beautiful. I bet that was the best gift.
I was happy to just spend it with my family. I got lots of homemade goodies...from granola to Tea.
Aw, so, so sweet. 14 is such a rough age...you must be doing something right, momma!
That was so beautiful! So, what did she want? JK LOL My Chloe made something at daycare with her handprints for my husband and I. It made me teary.

I love the card you got. I hope I get one some day. For now I'll settle for Chloe saying "I love you mommy" without prompting from me. Happy Wednesday!
nope, nothing touching for me this year. A yoga mat. lol. Great post though!
SO cool. Confirmation that you're doing it right! You're right--you do pass my test! heehee I'm happy for you both :)
I am going through a tough patch with my girls so I had to skip reaing the card but I'm glad she thought of you and remembered to tell you that because you are her mom you are special.
That is wonderful. It just reflects what you have shown to her. Happy New Year.
Oh my! Did you just boo-hoo? Such a sweet card, and a sweetheart.
Wow - that is so sweet!!
What a great card...I hope it made you cry! My goal every year is to always buy cards that will make my parents cry - and it usually works!! Stopping by to say hi - from your newest follower!

Wow ! How sweet is that! Sounds like your both lucky to have each other!
