She Loves Me

Issa packed my lunch today:

I would be lying if I said I didn't open the box as soon as I got to work. She had been so excited to pack it I thought there might be a little surprise. The egg has chocolate in it.

As we are entering these tween years full force, I find the two of us going toe to toe more than I might like. She is a slightly smaller version of me, so I know where she is headed before she gets there--a blessing and a curse. I love seeing the fierce, strong woman she is becoming, but jeez it's exhausting. In the midst of all that, this little note had big pulls on the heart strings this morning. I love, love, love her, too.
