The Husband’s had a very tough time lately, as you’ll know from my recent Word of the Week post. On the worst of these days, I explained to Boo that Daddy would love hugs from her that night, and for her to be a very good girl. She nodded and said ‘OK’.
Half an hour later, she came up to me with her little writing set, and told me she wanted to write a note for Daddy, to cheer him up. My heart melted.
It says, ‘to daddy, I love you (with a heart there), and then her name, which I’ve ‘egged’ out! She then thought about what Daddy likes best, and came up with cake! So that’s a very long cake with a couple of candles on it.
He’s not a sentimental sort, but he really appreciated his letter and has kept it.
To then make his evening even easier, she decided than rather than expect him to read her a bedtime story, she would tell him a story instead, so she practised and practised a tale until he came home and she could share it. It was about a turnip, complete with actions 😉
I was so proud of her, and I know the Husband cherished it.

Ahhhh bless her! What a sweetie. I love getting bits from my girl. Despite the fact they are usually just squiggles. Lovely #whatsthestory xxx
Squiggles are just as sweet x
So cute – I love that kids can melt adults hearts just by being them #Magicmoments
Yes, it is just that! Lovely 🙂
Such imagination and a very special letter, she must have great intuition to just ‘know’ the thing to do was a letter x
She can be thoughtful like that, and it really touched her dad. Lovely x
awww honey what a beautifully thoughtful daughter you have! I think a turnip story sounds super 🙂

How lovely, I bet it really cheered him up to have that and so sweet that she told him her own story too 🙂

That is so very thoughtful of your little girl. Children surprise us with such sensitivity and understanding when we least expect it. #magicmoments
Thank you. It was a really lovely thing to choose to do x
Aww what a sweet heart! 🙂 And I love her stationary, so cute. Reminds me of the stuff I used to collect when I was kid. #WhatsTheStory.

One to treasure, I miss little notes from my kids now they feel they are too old. #Magicmoments
Ah, never too old! X
Just read your Word of the Week post, so sorry Jocelyn – sending positive vibes your way (and a little gin). It makes this note all the more poignant doesn’t it, you must have just melted when you saw it. What a lovely thing to do for Daddy, so thoughtful. Thank you so much for sharing with #whatsthestory
Thank you. It all feels a little strange still, but I’m sure it’ll sort. And this little letter definitely cheered him. Thanks for hosting x
That is so sweet, love her writing. It’s amazing how thoughtful young children can be sometimes. I missed Word of the week last week, so just read your post, hope your husband settles into his new job well when he starts.
Thank you. It has been odd, but this letter definitely helped 🙂
Aww that is so sweet.
