A Letter to My Bestie, Who Treats My Children Like Her Own

I am so grateful that having kids didn’t pull us apart.

Instead, having children has strengthened our bond. Now that another incredible lady has entered my kids’ life, they have someone to look up to and confide in. Even better, our children get to develop a sense of familial affection.

When my kids do something new or have a significant day, you celebrate them. Their day is made by your joy for them, and it means so much to watch their cheeks light up. You demonstrate how much you actually care and what a terrific bestie you are by remembering the simple things.

I’m so glad you can enjoy the off-the-cuff videos I send of my kids. And what’s even better is that you get the point without my having to explain. You are so familiar with my children that you can anticipate their needs and know how to handle any situation.

You keep my kids amused when you sense that I’m growing impatient, and you’re always ready to step in when something needs to be done. You have picked up and left off my children at school, done their hair for school, and more. We will always be grateful for all that you have done for us and for being willing to be here with us.

Thank you for going above and beyond as my bestie, loving my children as your own.

I seek your advice because I am certain that you have my babies’ best interests at heart. You are straightforward and helpful when offering guidance to the youngsters you adore as much as your own.

I appreciate how you don’t make me feel guilty when I act differently than you would have or make errors as a parent. Although we don’t always do things the same way, we respect and value one other’s opinions and approaches.

I know my children will experience love and nurturing when they are with you. I don’t take it for granted that you’ll look for them the same way I would. Not everyone can rely on others the way I can or can have such high regard for their children.

I appreciate you teaching my children good habits, just as you do with your own. You can assist my kids become the outstanding young persons they have become by correcting their conduct. You watch out for them, but you also count on them to show civility and kindness.
