    About this ebook

    Parents nowadays are so invested in their children, they often lose themselves in the task of child-rearing.

    Through paintings and letters, this book provides a warm reminder that everything parents do is valuable, that they are not alone in doubt and fatigue, and that they are successful because they do the best they can.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
