I Love you. Three words that most parents hear at least once a day from their child. Hubby and I don't usually hear it without some prompting and her Grandparents hear it even less than we do.
For the first time in a long while I heard the words while we were in the car this evening. She just said it. No prompting from me, I wasn't purchasing her anything, and it came out of thin air! We had talked about Glee and the big premier next week and then she just said it. "I Love you Mom".
This morning was the last part of the school incident from two weeks ago. She does seem to have figured out that she never wants anything like this to happen again. The intake officer required that MAC apologize to the other student, to her father, and to me. She did so with tears in her eyes which almost had me crying too.
One day when she has finished school, remembers to take her medication on her own, and is leading a productive life I know that we will look back on these days and say, "See it seemed so hard then but it was all worth it". I know that at some time we will hear I Love you at the end of the phone conversation without prompting and that she will understand that homework is not a torture device that teachers dreamed up just for her.
