When her oldest daughter started school, a young mother began writing little notes on the napkins that she put in her lunches. The little girl loved this connection with her mom and her mom loved being part of her daughter’s school day. So the tradition continued through three more kids going to school.

Her oldest child, a teenager, was so embarrassed by the notes, that she began to write them with secret codes that the classmates wouldn’t understand.

One evening she was putting something away in her seven-year-old’s room, and she saw something that surprised her to the point of tears.
