Dear Mama,
Today Eva began Kindergarten! Can you believe it? Weren’t we
just in the delivery room? You started singing her “Happy Birthday” trying to
get her to make her grand appearance! I
guess you thought that if you started singing she would decide to come out.
Nice try…to bad it didn’t work.
No, Eva has always done things her own way in her own time.
She is confidant in everything she does and comfortable in her own skin. I sure
do hope she stays that way.
She walked into that Kindergarten room like she owned the
place. She then gave me a limit to how many pictures I could take and then she
quietly asked me to leave. She said, “Mom, I’ve got this!”
Oh Mama, I could have burst into tears right in that room! I have worries and fears for her. Trusting
Jesus with her life is probably one of the hardest things I have ever done. I
wonder if you felt the same way the day you went to heaven. I looked into your eyes and said, “Don’t
worry Mama, I’ve got this!”
This morning I woke up early and prayed. HARD. I then watched Chad crawl beside Eva in bed
and whisper words of encouragement and love to his little angel. Yes Mama, he
is still pretty great! Not that you doubted him!
I let her eat a chocolate muffin for breakfast! She only ate the top part and gave her banana
to Colt! We read over a Bible verse to remind her that God would be walking the
halls right beside her! She smiled!
I cried after I dropped her off. I cried because she was growing up, but mostly I cried because I wish you were here experiencing her life with me.
But God has not forgotten me and He sent some pretty amazing women to call me and listen to this mother's heart. And of course, I have my daddy!
I just wanted you to know. I love you!
Erin
