A love letter – the very best kind

I was digging through The Bandit’s backpack tonight in preparation for his return to school tomorrow morning. I found what I was expecting: a bunch of wadded up school work (some finished, some not), Scholastic magazines, unidentified food, Army men, etc.

What I wasn’t expecting was finding a letter. It was tucked in a regular business size envelope with a “stamp” from the American Lung Association in  the corner.

Curiosity won out and I opened it. This is what I found.

Dear Mom and Dad

Thank you for all the gifts, but the best gift I could ever have is you guys. Guys ,I love you even when I say I hate you. The best gift I got all Christmas is you. I love you guys, and tacos, but mostly you.

Your loving son,

The Bandit.

Wow, right? More than tacos? He really does love and appreciate us. I feel all squishy inside.

And hungry for Mexican food.
