I am sharing a letter from my daughter showing what love can do. Her letter- From the time I was born,you dedicated your life to raising me the best you could.You put in years of time,effort and money etc to help shape me into who I am today.You built the foundation in which I would grow to become a hard working, loving,independent,smart,kind and overall responsible person.I could never and would never in a million years take all that you invested in me for granted and dissapoint you.I hope to always keep you proud of me,that is what drives me to succeed,your love.I love you and I thank you for being the best mother ever. The above letter from my daughter is showing her appreciation for raising her the best that I could.If you have young kids you can guide and raise them the way you want them to go.If you want them to be a hard worker,show them that you work hard.If you want them to be loving,show your love.If you want them to be independent,show them your independence. If you want them to be smart,teach them from an early age.If you want them to be kind,show your kindness to them and to others.And finally,if you want them to be responsible,show them that you are responsible.Always remember that they learn from example.

A poor father once told me - "Love may be all I can give to my children, but there are many things that I can show them "..I have tried to keep this in mind while raising my little one. I try so hard to lead by example.He shows many strengths already in his young age.I am very proud, of him and myself :) Thank you for sharing your letter, I am sure you keep it close to the heart~Heidi

your daughter is so lucky for having a mother like you,and children indeed learn from example especially form their parents. I am twenty-four years old,and from the time I was born,my mother was always being my example,teaching me to be kind,responsible,independent and work hard for my aim etc. wish you be happy everyday and your daughter be more and more exellient.

Well,thank you.You go girl,in whatever your aiming to do.There is a plan for everyone and its good to have the caring help to get there..With a parent or parents guidence it also builds the childs confidence.Confidence is one of the most important tools for succeeding.If you believe in yourself you can accomplish anything you want to do.
