A Letter to MY daughter...

My dearest princess,
God willing, 3 months from today I will get to hold you for the very first time. I can't begin to tell you how much I dream of this moment and I much I long to meet you face to face. You are the one thing I have been waiting for my whole life. The fear and excitement and happiness I feel when I think of what you will bring into my life overwhelm me, as well as the hopes I have of being a good mother to you.
You are coming into a home filled with love, laughter and craziness. Your brothers will keep you busy and may make you a little crazy, but they will love you, take care of you and give you the place you deserve ALWAYS! I promise you that. Your dad pretends to be a tough guy, but deep down inside he is a big softie. I know what you will mean to him and I can't wait to see him, wrapped around your finger and at your beck and call. He is an amazing dad, and he will always love you no matter what... he's shown me that kind of love and I know he will do the same for you times a million.
I have so many dreams and hopes for you. I promise to always be truthful and honest with you and never keep anything from you. Life is not always be easy, but we can tackle anything together you and I. Above all the aspirations I have for you... to be a true lady, well poised, funny, beautiful inside and out, intelligent and charming... I mostly want you to be happy. I will always work hard to make sure you have all the tools you need to be a wonderful woman... and maybe someday when I am gone, you will be a testament of what my love for you accomplished.
Remember to always stand tall, to look people in the eye, to not let the ignorance and pettyness of people get to you... never to run and hide from your problems but rather face them head on... to be proud of who you are and where you come from... to put your family first... to put yourself above that while still maintaining your love for mankind... and to remember how much we all wanted you and love you. You are the missing piece to our amazing family... the cherry on the sundae and the icing on the cake.
Until I hear your first cry and get to kiss your fat cheeks... I will dream about you every night and day. I will anxiously await to hold your hand and to lay close to you to hear your heart beat. You've already changed my life and I already love you more than words could ever express. You are my princess and that way you will always stay.

Mommy
