Not simply writing in a card.
Not something that you thought of as you were writing it the night before their birthday.

A well thought-out, intentional letter.

Right now, get out your phone. On the calendar app of your phone, create a reminder for two weeks prior to your child's birthday. Then, set the reminder to repeat yearly without an end date.

Every year, two weeks before your child's birthday, you will now get this reminder. Take that two weeks to reminisce. Look back at photos from the past year to remind you of special times you may have already forgot. Think about the moments you felt proud, joyful, scared, or loved. Jot them down. Share these thoughts with your child. Let them know how much you love them and how much they mean to you. Put those thoughts into definitive words on a page.

Be intentional. Create intentional moments that will bring you closer to your child.

It doesn't matter if your child is an infant or already out of the house, I encourage you to break out the pen and paper once a year.
