Honeybee got her very own email address yesterday, and this is what I found in my inbox this morning.
Hi mom I love you. You are wonderful you are a grate mom you are funny and weird but I still love you thank you for being my mom.
This just might be one of the sweetest things she has ever said. When I am silly and playful with her, she always laughs and tells me I’m weird, and I reply, “Thank you!”
This is good, very good.

I love your posts … about the positives and negatives of parenting these kids from hard places. Gives me hope. Most of the time, I just hear how much he doesn't like me and what a terrible mom I am. Hanging on to the hope that some day he will see all the love that is here for him.
In this pic, don't you feel like you are getting a glimpse into the future, and the beautiful young woman Honeybee is becoming? Wow–you have such hard work now, but I hope moments like these encourage you to keep on. The fruit is already showing.
I do see it and I am hopeful. Honeybee has a very tender, beautiful spirit — and I love it when we see it.
This is great :-)
wow! how special!
and she is so beautiful!!
You know you're doing your job when your kids call you weird. :-) That is precious. And I totally agree with blesseday's comment.
Woo Hoo!
Excited for you all.
<3 This is beautiful.
Our daughter has an iPod that she saved up her birthday money for. She has an email, but she can't really write or read so she doesn't use it. She does have FaceTime when she's on WiFi and the only person she really ever calls on it is me and my husband. She'll call when we're away for the night, or she's away for the night at her neighbor friend's. She really wants a cell phone, which we don't really understand because she never calls anyone… except us! We're SO not paying for that! Ha!
