Another favorite of mine. I love this one for so many reasons – because it captures the beginning of E’s ability to write down her thoughts and share them with us, and also because I was so touched by her thoughtfulness and sincerity. She is still so good at putting things down on paper that are hard to say out loud. After an argument or a session of tears and angst, she will retreat to her room and emerge awhile later with a note she slips into a pocket or onto the table in front of us. “I’m sorey for being so rud. I didn’t meen it. I love you.”
