Boy, 10, Writes His Mom Sweet Morning Notes After Seeing His Parents’ Love Messages Around the House (Exclusive)
“Hi good morning mom, I hope you have a good day,” one message read

Lisa Goebel’s youngest son is already showing signs of being a true romantic.

The mother of four shared a touching video on her TikTok account on Aug. 29 after she discovered that her 10-year-old had been leaving her handwritten notes around the house. In the now-viral clip, Goebel displayed some of the heartwarming messages her son created.

“Hey mom, here’s a thank you gift for being the best mom and good morning I love you,” one note read, which Goebel found taped to the refrigerator.

On another occasion, when she went to pack his lunch, she came across another message taped to the cabinet door.

“Hi good morning mom, I hope you have a good day,” it read. “I’m just helping you out. I hope your back feels better soon I love you. Have a great day mom.”

Goebel tells PEOPLE that in her family, notes are a regular and meaningful part of everyday life, often used as a way to express affection.

“Notes are a constant in this house. Messages of love never get old around here,” Goebel says. “It makes us proud to know we’ve shown them how great showing your love can be.”

She adds, “If we can be the example of the good stuff in life, then we’ve succeeded as parents! This IS the good stuff.”

Goebel explains that she began the tradition years ago by tucking notes into her sons’ lunches. Leaving messages in her husband’s lunch also became a frequent habit.

“I would write on the foil his sandwiches were wrapped in and place them in the fridge so it was the first thing he would see,” she recalls. “I’m sure the kids would see it too. Hearts and all.”

“I would leave notes on the kitchen counter for him, and our boys would find them in the mornings when they came down. Sometimes our notes were even made of candy,” Goebel says. “Just messages of love back and forth before his workday started.”

The proud mom says the tradition has come full circle. “We’ve received notes from all four of our boys over the years,” she shares. “Sweet, kind-hearted notes filled with their love for us. Many I’ve kept…like bottled pieces of their hearts that I can keep forever.”
