Oh god my face just sprung a leak! How precious. Your boys are beautiful - just like their mummah. xxxxxx
Awww! That made me well up, what beautiful letters!
xxoo Happy mothers day for yesterday AM
Aww adorable. What wonderful boys you have! Happy Mother's Day for yesterday.
They are the cutest!!!
:)
Divine... sniff. gxo
this is the best. omg, so charming. you are so loved.
xo
Better than the card companies could ever say. Your eldest has a way with words A-M. Happy Mother's Day (belated).
XO, Andrea
Both your boys love you to the moon and back A-M.
Love you lots. xox
Yo really do have the loveliest boys! xxx
Straight to the keepsakes box! ;-)
Absolutely makes it all worth while, doesn't it? Of course, you realise that your eldest will be probably be totally embarrassed by your post but we love it.
Just excuse me while I wipe away a few happy tears - simply beautiful A-M!
V x
Seriously, that is heartwarming!
No embarrassment on my boys part. I asked their permission to share and they said absolutely. A-M xx
My goodness your sons words brought tears of happiness, congratulations A-M on raising such beautiful boys
That's wonderful A-M. Be prouder still that you are raising young men that aren't afraid to express their emotions. x
Best possible love letters ever~
You will never forget their beautiful thoughts! You are raising gorgeous, caring boys A-M. Mimi xx
Lovely, couldn´t be better! :-)
Oh, how proud those letters must make you, really heart warming x
I think those letters are keepers!! Robx
My day started with a card from master 7 saying thank you for doing my washing, a beautifully wrapped dressing gown from master 12, and a cake from teenage daughter. It ended with me scrubbing kid vomit from the carpet.....I guess you can't win them all!
Motherhood can be tough sometimes - but this makes it all worthwhile.
That's one of the sweetest, most lovely things I've ever seen! What beautiful boys you have made xx
You have 2 of the very best (and well done to you, their Mum!)
Christine xo
P.S Our Paris trip is now settled and happening!!!
So very sweet. The stuff to cherish forever!
those letters are definite keepers for the day that they test you and you need to remind yourself how sweet they really are!
Beautiful words from your angels. Talk about an affirmation!!! They are both so articulate in their love for you, that is obvious. Thanks for sharing boys x
Your children really are special. And you are a wonderful mother that transmits to your boys who always should be loving with the family. Beautiful lesson for all of us.
Kisses from Brasil
It melts your heart!! Your heart must have wanted to burst from your chest! The only remedy that I know of for keeping your heart intact under these circumstances would be smothering those boys with kisses!! If they allow it, of course!
if those are not the sweetest notes in the whole wide world then I don't know what is....
you are a blessed mum for sure.
xojoan
That's love alright, the best kind.
my watery eyes, what can I say - I want them, both.
Lucky you, these are beautiful. If you want to check out what my 4 wrote on their cards, read this post & you'll hug your boys even harder. Clearly girls are harder to please + a boy with way too many sisters, won't forgive me for the gender imbalance in our household. One card included telling me i'm a bad cook in 2 languages!! Beautiful penmanship by the way. Love Posie
