dear andrew

sterling and his dad in the hospital.


dad,
thank you for changing my poopy diapers and having funny faces and noises of disgust while you do it so that mom laughs when she does it. thanks for taking me for rides on the go-cart, lawn mower and tractor. thanks for letting practice my driving skills on the truck. thanks for pushing me in my swing. thanks for understanding that sometimes i have bad days and get frustrated when i can't tell you what i want. thanks for eating breakfast with me everyday. i love you!

love sterling

honey,

i would like to thank you for all your hard work. both at work and at home. thank you for watching sterling so that i can take a nap. thank you for getting up with him so that i can lay in bed a little longer. thanks making me laugh. thanks for cooking on the weekends so that i don't have to come up with two more meals for the week. thank you for picked up all the sticks the cottonwood dropped and not complaining when i didn't really help. thank you for always folding and putting away the laundry.

don't forget that i love you more everyday.

love,

your wife
