Dear Layla,
Wow I am really bad at this...I am sorry. I will try to be better. Anyway, it iced over a few nights ago and now all the trees look like crystal and shine like diamonds in the sun. We drove to Costco today and as I admired all of the beauty from the storm I thought about how it applied to life. Here I was so enchanted with the beauty, yet it had caused so much damage. Homes had been damaged or without power, there had been car accidents...yet all I could see what the wonder of it all. There will be times in your life when events, people, or heartbreak will leave you feeling damaged or scarred, but once you have healed I hope you are able to look at the beauty it has left you. How it has transformed you into something wonderful and you can shine a little brighter because of it.
When we parked at Costco it was a mini snow storm. The first snow of your lives. I covered you and your brother with blankets and we speed inside laughing and popping in and out of the covers. It was a small, fleeting moment but it was special. It was a moment I don't want to forget. I love you little monkey.
Love,
Mommy
