Open letter to my daughter on her birthday

The day you came into this world will always be my favorite day of the year. Even more than Christmas, which is saying a lot! Which led me to write this open letter to my daughter, Amanda , on her 17th birthday.

Dear Amanda , As I watch you grow up and take on the world with confidence and curiosity, I can’t help but marvel at how much you seem to know yourself at such a young age. Dear Daughter , It is hard to believe that years ago I held you in my arms for the first time and looked deeply into your big, beautiful brown eyes. Now, as you officially become a “tween” on this birthday, in between childhood and teenage years, I look into those same eyes with a love that has only grown since the day I first saw you.

Dear Avery , Today on your fifth birthday I have lots of thoughts and emotions running through my mind. You are my firstborn. The one who is teaching me every lesson possible about motherhood.

And congratulations on making it in one piece to this incredible milestone in your life. I want to share with you a letter that I wrote to her. Let me know if you understand how I feel.

I waited my whole life for you to be born. I remember every detail about your birth, and often replay that day in my head – wishing I could go back and relive it one more time. Twelve years ago today, in the wee hours of the morning, you changed my life forever. As I think back on the details of that momentous event, I feel compelled to share some of my thoughts about that day, life since that day, and life going forward.

My own middle daughter , Summer had her birthday last week and as you know we had to “postpone” her birthday as she got sick. Reading this was everything I would want to say to her and to her sisters, but do not have a way with words like you do! About Danielle Smith. September 4th was my oldest daughter ’s 12th birthday. I wrote this open letter to her and wanted to share it with you today…it might feel a bit dark, but gosh it’s where my heart is right now.

Since my youngest daughter ’s 1st birthday I have written an open letter to both our daughters on their birthdays over on my (now retired) parenting blog, Franglaise Mummy. This kind of blog post doesn’t really fit in here, but I couldn’t not continue the tren so here is my open letter to my daughter on her 5th birthday. Congratulations, momma, on having the best little girl in the world.

Dear Clémence, We have just celebrated your 4th birthday (this letter is a bit late as we have been having so much fun I’ve not wanted to stop to write this!), and as I’ve done every year since you were born I’m writing you an open letter , to read when you’re older (here are the letters from your previous birthdays: 1st birthday , 2nd birthday , 3rd birthday ). Feeling very sad and guilty many times, that i couldn’t gave her much time due to my office and hectic schedule…i really missed all her first things. My daughter too turning one this month. Dear Julia, It’s years today since you arrived in the worl much loved and much wanted.

All through my pregnancy I suspected you were a girl, but we waited until you were born to find out for sure. Happy Birthday to my little angel. Letter to my daughter on her birthday. Oh I forgot my little daughter just grown to year old. I can remember that day easily when you born.

I never forgot the tears of your dad. Every year I write an open letter to you and your sister on your birthdays (here are the letters from your previous birthdays: 7th birthday , 8th birthday , 9th birthday ), as I know I’ll never remember all the little details of these weeks, months and years with you as children, so I hope it’s a way for me to remember and for you to know what life was like when you were little. My sweet Selah, You’ve taken me on quite a ride this year, little one.

When I think about how I’ve watched your little personality come to life, how I’ve watched you grow and de. Wish I’d thought of all that when my daughter turned 16. Except with the actual facts of HER life. But oh, yes, I’ve learned to listen and she has taught me so much. And oh, how I could feel the ferocity of your love for your daughter in this love-infused birthday greeting.

May she have many, many more happy, love-infused birthdays! Seven years ago today my entire world changed. And I have cherished every hour. It’s hard to believe that the last time I brought a child into the world was years ago today. This is my love letter to my 11-year-old daughter.

Eden, Tomorrow you turn 10. The sound of that makes my heart flip in my chest with excitement for you and takes my breath away all at the same time. Dear Sunny, Tomorrow you will be one year old.

To my son and daughter -in-law,. I won’t be at your party, and that makes me sa but I will see you in twenty-sev.
