A small, enormous moment
The first time a child writes “I love you” is hardly ever planned. It appears on a card, the letters leaning, the “y” missing a tail.
Why it disappears
Handwriting changes fast. Within a year or two the same child writes differently. The version you were given will not return.

What you can do
Photograph it, keep the original flat and safe, and consider whether it is the one to turn into a keepsake.
Writing it for someone else
Many families have a child write it for a grandparent or a partner. Those notes are often the most treasured of all.
A gentle idea
