For week 3's challenge, wrote a long message to my dear daughter who I absolutely adore! I plan on making a similar page for my son. If I were out in an Island for 3 weeks, they are the two people I would write to first. They fill my life with joy! I had so much fun doing this challenge!


Here is the entire letter:


My dearest daughter,
How does one write a love letter to a special little girl like you? There are not enough words in this world to express my love for you. You were wanted and loved even before you were born! God planted in our hearts, a deep desire to have another child in our family, and He fulfilled it by bringing you into our lives. We were all in agreement that our family was not yet complete. Your big brother had been asking (and praying) for a little sister for the longest time. Your daddy and I tried hard to conceive, but time after time, our efforts were interrupted by loss. Deep in our hearts, however, we knew that there was one special child destined to fill our lives with joy! You were the one!
You came into our lives via an unconventional way. Instead of 9 months of pregnancy, we had 9 months of paperwork. Instead of worrying about labor, we worried about you, finally making it into our family unit. However, like with a normal pregnancy, it took us exactly 9 months, since we embarked in the adoption process to finally bring you home. I could not understand not being able to have another child then, and I cannot imagine the world without you today! If I only knew then that God had a plan, and that you were the one!
I will never forget the day when we received the news that you were born! Your referral arrived when you were only two days old! You were so tiny and fragile! Oh, instantly, I knew you were the one! The wait to have you come home was long. Waiting and not knowing what would happen was one of the toughest things I have ever endured. With each updated picture we received, our love for you grew stronger. We all knew you were the one!
Holding you for the first time was an experience that I will never forget! Motherhood is a strange thing. You are not trained to be a mom, you just are! I felt you were mine, from the first time I took you into my arms. The same motherly love that I felt for your brother when he was born is the love I felt for you when I first held you in my arms! And you, you smiled at us as in agreement… almost as if you were saying: you are the family that I was promised. We just sat there, for hours, looking at this tiny little baby that God had placed in our hands! It was finally real! You were the one!
I am not a very good writer, but I just wanted you to know, that you were wanted and loved even before you were born and that my love for you keeps growing every day! We asked God for a child, and He responded by blessing us with the sweetest and happiest little girl that I have ever met. I could not have asked for a better child for our family! You are absolutely the one! The one to fill our lives with joy, the one that completes our family, the one we were all wanting and waiting for. You are the special little girl that captivated our hearts! It is an honor and a privilege to have you as our daughter! My heart smiles every time I hear you call me mommy, and my soul is in peace, knowing that you are forever in our lives!
I will love you always and forever!
With all my heart,
Mommy
