I love my mother.

She just knows.


She always knows.




Today I got a package from her, with my new car insurance card.. but also, with a note.

The card reads on the front:

Do not wish you be anything but what you are, and be that perfectly.

The inside, she wrote:

Jen,
Just wanted to tell you we love you and miss you. Glad you are making new friends and enjoying being you!
All our love,
Dad and Mom

Also, she's been sending me these little sayings on small pieces of cardstock for the past few years. She sends them every few months or so. The last one she sent said: remember your dreams.

The one she sent today says: you are simply amazing!


I really miss my family.
