Dear DS
Don't listen to school. You've wanted to be a soldier for so long that none of us can imagine you as anything else and I will fight them to the death for your right to be a little boy and play soldiers at school even if it means constantly deaiing with referrals to social services.
I am so proud of you wanting to defend your country and even prouder of the fact that even though I can't do very much right now thanks to surgery, you still try to do everything you can to help and very carefully hug me so not even the smallest part of me is hurt. I love you soldier boy.

Dear DD
I know that you're a teenager now and that life isn't easy. I remember what it's like, really, I do. Please then, don't tell me I've never been there, or couldn't possily understand. It hurts me a lot when you do that. I am however, very proud of the fact that you know what you want to be and have a life plan that doesn't involve children until you've seen the world.
I also love those little flashes of the little girl I knew who wanted nothing more than to wear my clothes and giggle with me while we ate sweets from the stash that daddy doesn't know about. Can we have them more often please angel eyes? I love you no matter what, always remember that.

Dear DH
It's been a rocky road for the both of us and I never thought that we'd be getting back together again. I'm glad I was wrong. I just wish I could find a way for everyone to accept that people can, and do change. I still love you moohead.
