This note was written on August 18, 1992 by my mother in response to a request from my sorority for parents to write notes of encouragement to their daughters during the week of rush.
"Dear Sara,
What a great idea to share a surprise love note so you'll be reminded how much I love you.
Precious Sara, you are soft, deep feeling, dear and caring. Many times I've hurt you. I am sorry afterwards for my angry insensitive words and attacks. Caring about you so much doesn't excuse me; so I ask your forgiveness in Christ.
Here's hoping we will grow in understanding and love. You are tender, talented, and just a (the right) touch tenacious. Have a wonderful year, learn and enjoy each day. I love you, your mama."
What a treasure I have in this note written so many years ago. I haven't framed it yet, as I did with my dad's after he passed. But, I will. Words from my parents are something to cherish. I think that is why I cherish my Bible so much. Words from my Heavenly Father. The Father that always keeps His promises and has the Words I need to hear. Words for teaching, encouraging, challenging and comforting. Words to help me grow. Words to give me strength. Words to help me face the challenges of life.

March Sadness indeed. But today are brightened by this note. Mom's words to you were comforting to me and reminded me of her complete love for each of us. Thank you for sharing.
