Dear Erika...

So Danny is away and missed her first day of 1st grade, so he wrote her a nice email.  Her eyes lit up and she was smiling ear to ear as she laid on my bed and read her note:  

Dear Erika,
I just want to tell you how proud I am of you. You are so big now. I am so excited you are a first grader. Remember you go to school so you can learn lots of things.

Are you nervous? If you are, it is ok. You feel that way because you are excited and it is something new. You will feel better when you get to school and you are in your class. Then you will not be nervous.

Remember to have fun and learn lots. Make sure you are nice to everybody and be my big girl!

I love you and I miss you.

Thanks Daddy!
