Dear Daughter,
To my beloved, sweet girl. I love who you are becoming. Like a beautiful story unfolding right in front of me, I love to see you grow. You are something quite special. Even though I know you doubt yourself, it’s mountains you will move. Some mountains are large and the hike to conquer them will take time; but I know you eventually will. Your face has lost the innocence of toddlerhood, but your mind is blossoming into something quite amazing.
I’ve always said that you break me in all the right places to make me a better person, and this rings more true with each passing day. These days are long, the road uncertain, but steady is your beautiful faith. We fight and we fight often. Some days we both go to bed with tears, but I pray I never forget these moments. I pray I will take down these moments like Polaroids, as snapshots of your life as you become exactly who God has intended you to be. May you always be kind and true to yourself. Oh, my precious, feisty, never back down from a fight, always full of energy, sweet girl… I love who you are becoming.
Love,
Mom
