Dear Boxelder bug,
Thank you! Thank you for letting my three year old carry you around in her sweaty little palm for hours today. Thank you for not flying away - instead you just climbed around on her dress and she thought it was the best thing since chocolate and you know how much she loves chocolate. Thank you for letting her put you in a cup of water without calling it quits - you are amazing and came out of that watery grave vibrant and ready play. Thank you because now she has a new best friend and you made her day - not to mention mine!
Sincerely,
A mother who needed you today
P.S. You are welcome anytime - just don't tell all your cousins - too many of you guys creep me out.

Is it really you? Nice writing! William's bff worm died within 4 hours. I'm so happy Lucy's bug survived!
