Dear Ella,
I thought I knew how to be a mom until you came into my life. You showed me from the start that you are your own person, not to be compared to anyone else. You carve your own path in this world and do things at your own pace. No one can rush you, push you, or make you do anything you do not want to do. I love you, my spirited girl. So sweet, beautiful, and full of life. I know that whatever life throws at you that you can do it. You are a fighter and you are strong. You do things your own way; you keep us on our toes.
Life has not been and never will be easy. We have discovered that with you from the time we learned about you. You continue to surprise me with your strength, persistence, innocence, and sweetness. You are truly a gift to me and I am so thankful for every day that I get to be your mom. I love the way you would snuggle with me all day long, just as long as you can play with your brother at the same time. You are independent and smart. You understand things more than you let on, my little observer.
My prayer for you, My Ella, is that you never lose your sweetness. I know life is hard, but there are so many good things life has to offer that make all the bad things, all the hard parts worth it. Keep that sweetness Ella, for you will move mountains. Your smile brightens a room, and a single wave from you can make anyone's day. I have never quite seen anyone gather as much attention as you do, and you don't even try; you don't even care. As little as you are, you amaze me. You are loved.
I treasure you. I am so excited to see the person that you will become. Always push harder; never give up hope. Always know that YOU are enough. Never be someone that you are not. Never be afraid to be YOU, because YOU are beautiful, just the way you are. You don't have to change to please people. I pray you will always find your identity in your Creator and know that He created you for a reason, for a purpose.
I'm on your side; I'm rooting for you. Always here for you, no matter what. You are treasured. You are loved. I am so proud of you, my sweet girl. I always will be.
All My Love, Always,
Mommy
