It has been over eleven years now. It was a snowy afternoon. Laura, our tenyearold daughter, sat quietly, and was busy with her work. Suddenly, she asked how to spell a name of someone in our , and then wrote the notes one by one. Next, she some flowers with grass, a red sun, and the blue sky on them.
That evening. I noticed a “mailbox” on the doors to each of our bedrooms. There was one for Steve, one for Tom. She hadn't forgotten Sam or baby Paul. My heart felt when I saw that Reed, her dad, and I also one.
For the next few weeks, we received notes that showed love for each of us. When Steve lost a baseball game, there was a note telling him she thought he was the best player in the world. After I had a busy day, there was a note thanking me for my hard work, with a smiling face on it. In baby Paul's notes, there were lots of colorful _ including flowers with happy faces.
“He can't _ yet,” she said. “But he can look at the pictures.”
However, one night, I noticed the mailbox that Laura had made for herself. Suddenly, I that our little angel's mailbox had been but the others had enjoyed her love notes. My eyes were filled with tears.
“I'll take care of it,” Reed said. And in the following weeks, her _ wrote the sweetest of love notes to this little girl, our daughter.
this little girl is grown now, driving to the college every day, some things about her have changed. One afternoon only about a week ago, I found a love note on my bed.
“ always being there for me. Mom,” it read, “I'm glad that we're the best of friends.”
I always remember the nice child whose smile and have brought me thousands of hours of joy during these years. There are angels among us. I know, I live with one.
