Dear Hannah,

Maybe shopping? Seriously, your clothes already don't all fit into their drawers...you make me laugh! I think that if we are going to go shopping it should be for your poor mother's pitiful wardrobe...and then of course you can just borrow everything like you already do!! I am glad that Mrs. Turner told me it is very normal for girls to borrow clothes from their sisters and mom. Being I didn't grow up with any sisters I was missing this vital piece of information and couldn't figure out why you kept raiding my closet...but now I know...sometimes I am sorry that you don't have a sister to call your own but sometimes I am glad because I can imagine that along with sharing of clothes there must also be alot of bickering between sisters as well...anyhow, it's the weekend...i am trusting you to make wise choices at youth group tonight:)

dear Mom,

hey mommy,
i am so sad that you are sick !!
i hope that you get better soon so we can hang out sometime maybe shopping??
:) i love you

Dear Hannah,

I was disappointed on Friday night with your behaviour. This is hard for me to tell you and hard for you to hear I know. I am grateful that we are able to talk about things when they are not going well but I can't really tell how much you are understanding and how much you believe that I love you enough to place limits on your activities...As you face choices you need to always remember that short term fun often does not equal long term peace. We will often do something, not even thinking of what could happen...because at the moment it doesn't seem like such a big deal...if there is a twinge in your heart, a murmering in your spirit...please listen to it! Trust the wise cousel of those around you with experience and love. Be caution when chosing to participate in sneakery or lies...even if you are just the bystander...honour truth!! I love you Miss Hannah and am grateful to be spending our thanksgiving together! love mom xoxoxox

Dear Hannah,

I love days like today! Both of us had a very difficult day but at the end of the day, we talked together and prayed for each other and problem solved together...thank you for trusting me enough with your life and your heartaches and your triumphs...i love you...love mom xoxo

Dear Hannah,

wow! lot's of letters for me while I was away. Do you really still miss me when I am away? You look like you have been super busy, hanging out with your brother, and your friends and Owen. Fun times I think! It felt strange to come home from being away, and find you not home. It was another one of the many reminders I am seeing, that you are most certainly a teenager!!!! Teenage girls aren't often home on Friday nights I guess. I am very thankful that when you are out, I know exactly where you are and what you are doing....going to youth! and worshiping and learning! It must be super hard for parents who don't know where their teenagers are...I wouldn't be able to bear it...love momxoxo
PS...i am glad you loved the earrings I bought for you...

dear Mom,

i miss you alot
and cant wait for you to come home tonight !!!!
