I had to share this...it's too cute. Fiona woke up on Sunday AM with really bad allergies, so she stayed home from church. When I got home, she literally ran at me and shoved a card in my hands. She wrote some very sweet words but the icing was the quarter she taped inside the card. You have to understand that she is a tightwad like her mother so for her to give up money for something other than tithing - it's a big deal. I'm typing her wonderful phonetic spelling:
"Happy Muthrs Day - I love you mom
this qarter is for you all for doing the stufh you did
I love you mom
Happy muthris day
I rele love you mom."
I tried to give her the quarter back but she wouldn't hear of it.
"You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them." ~Desmond Tutu
I'd have to say, you must be rich now with that quarter!! Those are hard to come by around here as well! What a sweet daughter.
