An Open Letter To My Daughter

When I look at you, a thousand different thoughts run through my mind.  Thoughts as simple as what your hair color will be and, as deep as, will you feel like you've lived a full and meaningful life?  I wonder about the times you will come to me crying because some boy broke your heart, and how I will tell you about all of the boys that broke my heart, too.  But I can also share the story about the first time I met your Dad and how I knew he was going to be in my life forever.  He is proof that not every boy you meet will end up leaving you feeling like your heart has shattered into millions of tiny pieces.  But just know, when your heart does shatter, because it inevitably will, I will be there to help you pick up the pieces just like your lala did for me.  I pray that you do good things in this life and that you are a good person.  I pray that you are caring and compassionate but know that its perfectly fine to be hard-headed and willing to stand up for yourself when the situation calls for it.  You are my world and I hope I can always show you how much I mean that.  I love you babe, more than I ever knew was possible.

Love, your Mom
