Pick your favorite memory of each child. For the little girl I watch it would be our Girl's Day Out while her brothers were travelling with MB. For the boys it would be a trip to the zoo with B and C teaching me to playing his favorite xbox game.

In each card I wrote what I enjoyed most about doing with them, and my favourite memory. All the kids I've been leaving were of writing age, so I always attached a stamped postcard with my address to write each other letters - I'm penpals with most of my kids still, it always brings a smile to my face to get a little letter from them from time to time.

When I left my NF after 5 years and 3 boys, I wrote what I love and admire in each of them. My MB told me that she would treasure that card forever.

Try to identify specific examples of a special memory with each of them.

I think you no need to do that,this is family to do.

You should be able to come up with all kinds of little thoughts. If you are just copying what others tell you to write to me it's not genuine.

After several great years with my family, the kids are heading off to school and they no longer need me.
I'm tring to come up with a few sweet messages to write in cards for each of them, as well as parting gift ideas.

And the mom (dad too I guess
