This morning I packed a lunch for both Elle and myself.

Elle followed my (sporadic) tradition of including a note on a napkin. Today she did this while I wasn’t looking and stuffed it into my lunch bag.

She makes my heart smile. Every damn day. So full of unconditional love.

Here are my thoughts in return: Dear Elle, thanks for teaching me that you can never give enough love, hugs and kisses everyday to the loved ones in your life.

Please notice the SDSU lunch bag…that conveniently fits a six pack of beer inside. I know, I used it for something way less fun. Except that sugar free pudding. That stuff must have crack in it. And the berries are divine too. Off to get my fix.

My toilet papers loves me…

And so does Elle…

I got coffee delivery!

I got breakfast in bed.

All because I’m loved. By the most beautifully talented 10 year old I know.

Happy Valentine’s Day to you all!

However you choose to have love surround you.

I received this text as my flight landed in Texas from my mom’s (aka Mumsie) phone.

My brother, Tyler, is older. Much older. And a jokester. And sometimes an ass.

He took Mumsie’s phone and typed that message.

Mumsie grounded him for that. Mostly because he would probably enjoy spankings too much.

For those who care, I am NOT actually adopted. And Mumsie loves me more than my brother. I’m sure of it.
