To all daughters...you are special and you are loved.
Dear Daughter, Love is expressed in so many simple yet beautiful ways. Most people automatically associate the word love with romantic love but did you know that love is more than just romantic love? Just look around you and you will see it. It is in the touch of a baby’s hand as he reaches […]
[Continue reading...]Dearest daughter, On September 6, 1999, my life changed dramatically. That was the day that I met you for the very first time. My heart would never feel the same again. I held you in my arms morning and night. The nurses begged me to put you in the hospital bassinet and get some rest but […]
[Continue reading...]Dearest daughter, Have you ever been in a situation where something that you shared privately with one person was shared with someone else? How did that make you feel?

[Continue reading...]My dearest daughter, My heart breaks that I can’t be there to hold you and just let you cry right now. I know how frustrated and disappointed you must be.

[Continue reading...]I began writing letters to my daughter several years ago when I was going through a really difficult time in my life. I wrote these letters in a journal. The reason I started writing them was I was concerned about this probing question: What if something happened to me? Would my daughter ever know the real me? How can I leave behind a legacy of who I am, what I believe, where I came from? Would my friends be able to share my real feelings inside? Would they have experiences that I have had to teach her for her future? My purpose in writing is to express my heart to my daughter in a way that is easy to understand and comes from the heart. My hope is that these words will inspire others...be it young mothers, daughters without mothers or mothers who need support to gain some insight and hope for dealing with the struggles we face. Biggest Hugs :)
