To all daughters...you are special and you are loved.
Dearest daughter, Sometimes you may feel that life is too difficult to manage; like there are huge mountains to climb or expansive ravines to cross. You may not believe that you have the strength to make it through. You may feel that you can’t find peace no matter what you do. I want you to […]
Dearest daughter, There will be times during your life when you are faced with what appears to be an insurmountable task. This is a guarantee. We all face challenges. The key is to look at what you have been presented with an open mind and to have a positive outlook. Sometimes we get so wrapped […]
“Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what.” Unknown Dearest daughter, A good friend once shared this quote with me. I didn’t […]
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 […]
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 :)
