“I will always love you”
Sunday morning, a very-tired Zoe got upset over something small and told me that I was the meanest mommy in the world (which I’ve heard before) and that she didn’t love me anymore (which I hadn’t). I was a little surprised by the remark, but not too upset: I knew she didn’t mean it, and I knew she felt bad for saying it. (And I told her it wasn’t a nice thing to say.)
Later that day, after Avery and I got home from a birthday party, Zoe presented me with flowers and my favorite tea drink, as well as a card she had made with Q. Inside they had typed:
Mommy, I am sorry for saying I didn’t love you this morning. I will always love you no matter what I say when I am grumpy. Love, Zoe.
It’s another keeper.
