A Letter to My Sassy Little Girl That I So Needed.

Dear Daughter,

I never knew how much I needed a little girl until you came into my life.

Your head full of hair and sweet little cheeks, nose and lips I could not stop staring at when you were born.

The dreamy after feeding smiles and the long nights of walking around rocking you while you wailed and wailed.

My sour patch kid, and I could not love you more.

Your independence and your strength are admiring. Of course keeping up with your older brother I’m sure has contributed to that strength and sassiness you have but that’s ok. I hope you never lose it. It’s so important to be strong and independent as a child and as an adult, especially as a woman. I just know you will move mountains.

I hope you know how beautiful you are, even now at two-years-old with your blonde curls and big blue eyes, that cheeky little grin. I hope you never stop saying “I so pretty” when you put on a new dress or a new bow in your hair that you love. My words to you will always, always stay positive and I only pray your words to yourself will as well.

I hope you know I will always be there for you as your mom but as your friend as well. I will never let you feel like you can’t come to me for anything, no matter what. I will be there to help, to teach and to comfort and to listen to you and your brother, always.

It’s such a privilege that I was picked to be your mama.

Always keep your strength, your sassiness, your sweetness and your attitude. Your independence and your love for adventure. Your positivity and your love for everyone in your life.

I am so blessed to be on this journey with you.

I love you baby girl.

Love always,

Your mama.
