Sunday night I was hiding in the bathroom after a heavy day of emotional stress and a full weekend of social events. Friday night was my pot-luck book club meeting—ate too much. Saturday my husband and I attended a surprise party for a friend—ate too much. And Sunday afternoon I went to a Baby Shower and… ate too much, yet again.

Sunday was also one of those days where your spouse is continuously working your nerve to the point where you want to throw him out the window and hope he lands on hard ground instead of the backyard trampoline. (However, we don’t have a backyard trampoline so there’s no possibility of a safe landing.)

Nevertheless, Sunday night I was hiding in the bathroom because it’s the only room in the house where you get 70% privacy——80% if you lock the door. The remaining percentage is stolen by my husband and kids who are endlessly coming to the door knock, knock, knocking; asking what I’m doing; wanting to come in; or begging to use the toilet (as if there aren’t two other bathrooms in the house they could use).

Anyway, I was trying to grab a moment of solitude when I saw five little fingers pushing a note under the door. I rolled my eyes in frustration and hung my head in defeat. The fingers belonged to my youngest son and I was certain it was a harassment note that required action out of me, or he was whining/complaining about his brother, his toys, or his need for a snack. Whatever it was, I was NOT in the mood. So I reached for the note and instead of the inevitable, I read these words written in his eight-year old handwriting:

Mom, I love you a lot. Love, Trevor.
