My letter to Ella

Dear Ella,

I hope you learn to laugh at yourself, and not take life too seriously. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest every day, with no regrets. I hope you understand that in life, there are no mistakes, just lessons. I want you to know that no matter how bad something may seem sometimes, it won't last forever. I hope you learn before it's too late to love with everything inside of you, and never question your heart. I hope you love baking cookies with mommy, and being tickled by daddy - for we love you more than anything in the whole world, and our love for you grows every single day. I hope you appreciate the little things in life, like picnics at the lake with the sun shining on your skin, or the feel of grass on your bare feet. I hope you never forget your ability to achieve absolutely anything you may put your mind to, no matter how difficult it may seem at first. I hope you ignore stereotypes and bullies, and understand that absolutely everyone on this earth deserves your respect and kindness. I hope you become a mom someday, so you can understand just how much I've loved you since I first looked in your eyes. I hope so much for you, mostly I hope I am able to enjoy our lives together for years and years to come. I love you so much, you are my entire world.

Forever and always,
Mom :)
