For my birthday last week, Emily presented me with this card:
And no, that isn't a beer mug. It is a coffee cup. She also enclosed a 2 dollar coin with the instructions to "Get a cup of joe on me".
Of course, she HAS had words with other girl. Last week , the other girl tried to exclude her from a conversation and told her to leave.
Emily started to walk away and then - and in her words, "I began to channel You, Mom" - she turned and gave the girl a verbal dressing down.
This included swearing, she later tearfully confessed to me. My sweet girl gets very upset when she thinks she thinks she has broken the rules.
I soothed her tears with the explanation that sometimes only swearing can properly convey the emotion you are trying to get across.
In my life, I have only ever experienced true unconditional love with one person - Emily. Her willingness to love me above and beyond shines through any other storm I am managing.
And just because, here are some bonus pictures from Our adventures:

I am jealous of the cheese!
Oh, the cheese. It is spectacular.
Awww! Your little girl is very sweet. I wish I could have channeled you when the other girls tried to leave me out, back in the day!
Did she almost write crazy and then change her mind? Too funny!
Such a sweet and thoughtful card and gift!
Exactly Bridgett - She did start to write crazy - then thought better of it.
I can't stop looking at those fiddleheads....beautiful!!!!
