short and sweet

The other night after her bath Eloise was telling me that she loved me and that she will always be with me and never leave me.  After a few seconds she updated that statement and said that when she did have to leave home to be a veterinarian she would write a note for me and leave it on the dining room table.  That note would say, "Dear Mom, Don't forget to call Eloise every single day".

I have three reasons for writing this post today.

1.  So I have a record of it just in case I ever even start to forget about it.

2.  So I remember it on the days when it seems like everyone in this house is screaming, crying, or in a time-out, including me.

3.  So I remember to call my own mom and tell her how much I miss her and I that I can't even imagine how much she misses me.
