Thankful

Last month, one night as I was putting the kids to bed, Jairus ran over to Tali to give her a hug and kiss good night and Tali yelled back to Jairus "Na night Jairus.  Dream good dreams!"  She can seriously be so thoughtful and so sweet.  No wonder she is so loved by so many.

Our new bishop's daughter and Tali just adore each other along with another one of the young women in my ward.  They are such angels and are so good with Tali.  One particular Sunday, I was kind of frustrated because Tali had sat with us, then moved without me knowing it to sit with one of the young women behind us and then went to sit with my friend and then saw our bishop's daughter.  She sat with them for quite a while and then later came back to sit with us.  I was so frustrated with her, but something happened that totally changed my attitude.  Our bishop's daughter knows that Tali LOVES Rapunzel and always draws the sun for her and other Rapunzel stuff.  Well, this particular day, this young woman wrote Tali the sweetest, most precious letter I had ever read.  It made me so proud to be her mom.  This young woman had said that she was a long lost princess and was a child of God and complimented her on helping another little girl that had been crying, etc.  I had to tell the bishop and his wife how amazing their daughter was and how much her letter to my daughter had touched me.  I don't know if that young woman will ever know how much she made my day.  I absolutely adore her and my little "princess."
