The school supply list is way more immense and detailed then when I was her age. You need so much more things and they aren't cheap, I'd like to add.. but I got every last thing, just hoping it makes her experience that much easier. But you know what, I wish I could send Gracie with a lot more things than what can fit in her back pack...
I hope she knows that there will always be mean people in this old world and they can say hurtful things, but we are better than that. Let it go. Be so much better than them. Dont let those words reach your heart- theres no room in there for that.
I hope she remembers all her pleases and thank yous. Her kind smile and her big heart. I hope she goes out of her way to make sure her others are ok. I hope we instilled that in her by now.
I hope shes as funny at school as she is at home. Its ok to speak up and say your funny little things. Oh, I hope she doesn't take herself too seriously. I know, last year she really struggled with her voice. I hope she knows its ok to get caught talking too much. Her mama would get it. Theres just so many things to be said, haha.
I hope when shes tired, home is her first thought. I hope she knows that everything her dad and I have made together has been exactly for her. Every throw pillow she cuddles up on, every blanket we throw on her and all the comfortable stuff in between, is waiting for her at home, exactly how she left it.
But I really really hope that she remembers that she was once all mine. I guess she doesn't need to know that right now, but if in a few years she can look at me and say- You gave me some of my best days- well- there'd really be nothing better in life than that. I guess even if she doesn't- Ill know she gave Geoff and I, ALL our best days.
