My dearest daughter,
You are growing up so fast and changing right before my eyes. It seems like only yesterday your dad and I were waiting to meet you. Where has the time gone? I am so lucky, blessed, and proud to call you mine. One day, all too soon, I will share this letter with you. It is my hope that as you make your way through life, you will always remember:
We love you
You are beautiful
The size of your clothes will never determine the size of your heart
Pray often
Be courageous
Don’t do drugs
Remember who you are
Be kind
We say no because we care
Your opinion matters
Friendship and popularity are not the same thing
Have fun!
Always believe you can (can’t never could)
Always make time for God
You hate our rules but our rules love you
Beauty is more than skin deep (pretty is as pretty does)
Be respectful
Dream big
Believe in yourself
It’s ok to make mistakes…we learn from our mistakes
Laugh a lot
Try new things
You are enough
Life isn’t a race
Live in the moment
May God keep you safe and guide you through this crazy thing called life. It is short, so make the most of each and every day. Keep your chin up and show the world your gorgeous smile. We love you more than you will ever know. There are not enough words to fully describe just how much you mean to us (but I think you get the picture)! We can’t wait to see the work God does in your life and know you have exciting times ahead of you!
Love Always,
Mom and Dad
