9 January 2017

Ruth Michael, you and I are so alike. I am starting to see that more and more. Sometimes that makes it hard for us to get along, but I love you so fiercely and I can always feel your love for me, too. Often times, our similarities draw us together. You love to be just the family. You need breaks from too many people. You like things to be done a certain way and in the right way. You love to take care of your little sister, although she really knows how to pester you. Last night I went into your bedroom while you were sleeping and crawled into bed with you. I was overwhelmed with my love for you. I just pulled your body close to mine and kissed your face and stroked your arm. I prayed for God to be with you, to protect you. You are an excellent swimmer! So comfortable in the water. You got a new swimsuit yesterday and you were so excited you wanted to wear it to school (I didn't let you). You love to play by yourself with your little mouse, rabbit, and bear families, and you have a great imagination. You can be stubborn but for the most part you just want to do the right thing.
