Gifts from Daddy

My sweet husband was able to send our daughters each a handmade purse from jail.  He had one of his fellow prisoners make these purses for him.  He was able to trade his commissary items for these purses.  I told Dave he should wait for Christmas for me to give them to the girls but he was too excited for his little girls to get them.  Below is a letter that Dave wrote to his daughters when he sent the package:

My dear sweet daughters,

I know it ain't much but I hope you enjoy your hand crafted paper purse made by one of my fellow prisoners.  I love and miss each one of you so very, very much.  You are my little girls and always will be even when you grow into adults.  I want you to always remember how special you are to me, your mom and our Heavenly Father.  Never compromise your standards and you will always be happy.  As sisters always have each others back and take good care of each other all of your lives.  You are sisters for a reason.  Be kind and respectful of each other and serve one another often.  My life has been so sweetly blessed to have each of you as my daughters.  You all have been special blessings from heaven.  I have enjoyed the very special times we've had together.  I have loved every moment with you from the instant you each were born.  You are all so cute and special to me.  I will forever cherish the sweet love you have given to me.  I am so blessed to have daughters like you.

Love Dad

After I read the letter I noticed one of our little girls crying.  She just kept saying that it wasn't fair and she just wants her daddy to come home. The girls all love their purses and cherish them because they are from their daddy.  They show them off to anyone that comes to the house.  They love their daddy and they know without a doubt that their daddy loves them.  Please continue to pray for all the little children and their daddies who are away from each other at this time that they will be able to be reunited together soon.

I am so amazed at the talent that this man has who made these purses.  He is amazing to be able to take paper and trash and make them in a beautiful gift.
