My Dearest Daughter,
Your father once told me that you can never really experience unconditional love until you have child. I'm sure there are those who would disagree, but for me it is so true. For the past 18 yrs I have watched you grow from a spirited, enthusiastic young girl to the vibrant, self-motivated young woman you are becoming. When I look at you I see a young woman who is strong-willed, quick witted, and empathic. You are intelligent, insightful, with a dash of sarcasm (that runs in both side of your family). I am so proud of you!
I realize that your are 18 yrs old now and you are just starting to make more decisions about your life. I hope your father and I have provided you with the support and guidance you need to begin making those choices. As with most parents (notice I did not say all), I would try and protect you from making those decisions that will cause you pain. However, making choices even the wrong ones, helps you continue to grow as a person. Mistakes are part of life, you have to make a few so you can learn from them. I believe that life is a journey and we have to experience it or we don't live at all. I also deem that we create our own luck and destinies by following our dreams (whatever they are).
However, what I want you to know more then anything my daughter, is that you are loved. Unconditionally, absolutely loved.
Forever,
Your Mother
