Dearest Lucy,
Lesson #26: Feelings and words go together. First you feel something, then you say what you feel. This is true for small children as well as adults. Today it seemed you had a lot of feelings and no words. So it was a hard day for us all. Remember if you have feelings that telling us those feelings will lead to a much better day for everyone involved.
Love,
Mommy
PS: I find it most cute when you ask for Caleb from June Bug. I think you've found your first friend. : D

Leaving
Dear Lucy,
I hope you understand one important thing: I love you. It may not seem like it today after I leave you for a week for work. But believe me when I say that leaving you isn't what I want to do, it's what I must do. I can remember saying goodbye to my Dad when he would leave for the week and it wasn't easy, but I knew that he loved me and that made me feel better.
Honestly, I think that my travels may be harder for me than you because all the world seems to disappear when I pop in your favorite movie, Finding Nemo. But I'm sure you'll know something isn't right when I'm not there to feed you dinner or read to you before bed. I know your Dad is fully capable of making sure you're routine doesn't change. In fact, your Dad and I are hoping that your relationship with him will grow in my absence. He reassures me that you're must nicer to him when I'm gone. That makes me feel better.
I promise that not all the letters will be such a downer. In fact, most of them probably won't be about anything too important. But I want to make sure you know that I love you and always will.
Love you,
Mom
