I love you, so, my daughter!

this used to hang in my room when i was little. it still hangs in my room - over at my desk. and if i can make it work, it will hang in mary peyton's room, too.

my mom cross-stitched it for me way back when. it's one of the first things i can remember trying to memorize. and now i've taught it to mary peyton after saying it to her for 4 years.

it is precious to see her holding her baby dolls and saying it. time will fly and before i can even blink, it will be her saying this to her daughter/son (you could change the wording for a boy, i guess!).

anyway - in case you can't see what it says, here it is:

"I love you so my Daughter and I never
cease to pray, that God will guard
and keep you safe - - within His love
each day. May you be guided by His
word in all you say and do. For all
the pride of life for me - is centered,
Dear Daughter, in you.
Love,
Mother"
