Dear Vanessa,

I love you.

Every morning when you wake up I go into your room, and my heart leaps for joy that I get to spend another day with you. You are a sweet, happy baby little girl who loves to play and be silly.

You rarely fuss, keep a dependable sleep schedule, and put up with your big brother. What more could I ask of you?!

You are growing up way too fast, but I love to see you learn and develop. You are super smart and so loveable.

You have the most beautiful smile…but your sad face is pretty cute too.

I hope that as you get older you will pursue knowledge and truth. I hope that you will stand up for what you believe in. I hope that one day you’ll be in the school cafeteria, see a fellow student eating alone, and sit down beside her. I hope that you laugh, every day.

I’m so happy I’m your mom.

Love,
Mom
