Your daughter has been spending time with us fairly regularly over the course of the summer. She was in our daughter's class at school and so they got to know each other over the school year. You and I don't know each other all that well but I wanted you to know what a nice person your daughter is and how much we enjoy her company. She is unfailingly kind to both of our daughters and is friendly and good-natured with everyone she encounters at our house. Her manners are impeccable--- she thanks us for everything. We couldn't ask for a better guest.
The reason I am telling you this is that she acts like we hope our daughter acts when she is at your house. And I thought that you would like to know. We are so used to our own children and their behaviours at home. When they get out into the world as company at other folks' homes, especially when we are not there, we hope that they are doing their best. Your daughter is--- I think that you would be proud.
So thank you for allowing her to share time with us. I know how hard it is sometimes to let our children go. They are excited to go to parties and sleep-overs at each others homes...it's fun for them but it can be stressful for us, particularly if our child has extraordinary needs or a health concern of any type. The friendship that has formed between them is a first for our daughter; a relationship she made and is maintaining, all on her own. This makes it especially important for all of us. Our whole family is enjoying this friendship and what it is adding to all of our lives. We hope that you are too. Because of who our daughter is, we take no relationships for granted and this one is no exception. Sending our appreciation....
