I never knew real love until the day I heard you sing Let It Go.

The song is nearly unrecognizable on your lips. But what you lack in enunciation and melody, you make up for in earnestness. I can feel your tiny heart soaring as you rise like the break of dawn, and you can’t help yourself - you tangle your little fingers in my hair insistently,

You never cease to amaze me

You got your love of words from your Dad and me, but your gift far surpasses anything either he or I could ever do. I'm in awe of your writing ability, and look forward to reading your first and subsequent novels one day. <3

Oh... Dear One...

Thank you for yet another.

I'd never picked up on the hands flexing... thank you for that.

And, Friday. Friday.

I don't care WHAT you're writing about, I love it. <3 Soooo gifted!

This is insightful and beautifully written, and it presents both the challenges and the moments of hope for parents in your position.

I think you should try to get this one published at a magazine. It's that good.

Oh, this was beautiful. <3 I can't think of a better, more important (more meaningful) thing to say than, "I'm listening."

Your love comes across so powerfully in this piece. We all write so many pieces that come from (or go to) dark places that its quite literally a season highlight when there's a piece that feels so overwhelmingly positive. I know this isn't a positive situation, but your attitude (succinctly expressed in that final line) is overwhelmingly supportive.

You're a wonderful person and a wonderful mother. Much love to you.

This is a romantic love song, but I think it can also be read as just a song about how a beloved person can make your life so much better.
