My beautiful little girl,
It's me, your mother, the one who absolutely loves you to the moon and back even though I haven't even had the chance to meet you yet. To think that perhaps one day, I get to hold you in my arms for the first time and call you mine gives me excited chills, to gaze down at your little face and fall in love with you even though I just met you.
You will be blessed with a childhood of Disney movies and picture books. You'll have the experience of setting out cookies and milk for Santa Claus and putting your lost tooth under your head while you fall into a deep slumber, only to find it replaced with a shining coin. You'll sleep with warm blankets and fluffed pillows, along with your favorite stuffed animals.
I want you to know that I'll be there for you from when you take your first baby steps, to your first steps in high heeled shoes, and to all of the steps you'll eventually take. I'll be there to pick you when you fall down, to not criticize you for one bad grade on a test, and to be the one person who you can always rely on no matter what.
I'll support you no matter what you decide to major in during your college years, whether it be psychology or photography. Your passion will become my passion, whether or not you choose to be a cheerleader or a member of the marching band.
It's okay to fall in love, boys can be very eye catching, as I've learned from experience. But if boys don't fancy your affection, and your taste falls towards females like you, I want you to know that I will not judge you. It's completely healthy to love boys, girls, or both, regardless of your gender. Your sexuality won't make me love you any less.
Do not under any circumstances let your significant other or anyone pressure you into doing something you aren't ready to do. You'll know when you're ready, and this goes for everything beyond pressures in a relationship. No alcohol till you're twenty-one.
Don't change yourself just to fit into a crowd, it's highly unnecessary and ridiculous. You'll find friends that accept you for who you are, and they'll stick with you for the rest of your life. Fill up your days with positive people.
If you're anything like me, you'll want to start wearing makeup as soon as you see others your age doing it. It's right now that I implore you to wait until high school, or at least the end of eighth grade. Your skin will thank me later.
There's still so much more that I want to say, only, even I won't know what's to come. I'll be a new mother, and you'll be an entirely new human being, so we'll both learn through the process. And who knows, maybe you'll even teach me a thing or two. Because when the time comes, you can help me out with a younger sibling that I plan on giving you.
I can't wait to meet you one day, although I don't know when that day will be, I'll be ready.
We'll both be ready.
