For anyone who has a niece, nephew, or godchild, or someone close to you had a baby, you will be able to relate to loving a child dearly, that is not your own.
Dear precious soul,
Recommended for you
You might not know who I am or even know how to begin to speak to me right now, for you are very young, but I know you. I have been around since you were born. Though you are not my child, I feel as though you are a huge part of my life. I have been around to see you go from a tiny baby to a precious toddler, I hope to continue to being very active in your life. I don’t plan on going anywhere. I plan on seeing you accomplish life’s milestones, and I can’t wait to see what life has in store for you. I know you are in good hands and I know you have wonderful people in your life that are rooting for you (myself included).
You will never have to worry if people care about you -- everyone around you loves your sweet, tender soul and immense curiosity. Your big eyes that make everyone’s heart melt will probably get you far in life. I hope to see you grow into a young sophisticated adult -- though that is many years from now, I’m sure it will go much faster for me than for you.
I am so thrilled you are in my life. I can’t wait to attend your sports games, to sit through your chorus or band concerts. Whatever you find a passion in, I will support you and be there when you display your talents.
Again, although you are not my child, I still find myself a little bit responsible for you. If I am in your life I want you to be a gracious, humble and respectable child. Someone I am proud to say I have had the privilege to have known since the day you were born. I want to help you to not make the mistakes I have in life. I want to teach you how to be good to others so others can be good to you. I want to teach you about life’s wonderful little secrets and even make fun of your parents to you, because you have to know what they were like before you came around.
When birthdays and Christmas come around, know I will probably buy you way too much because I want you to be happy and, admittedly enough, to look cute. I will spoil you when you get older. I’ll be the cool relative that won’t make you bathe if you don’t want to; we can stay up late and eat candy. I want to be a positive figure in your life and I want you to know that I care about you so much, but I want you to have a lot of fun as well.
Always know, I will be rooting for your heath, your success, and your happiness.
Love always.
