Dear Future Me,

I hope you are sitting back on your rocking chair on your beautiful porch sitting right in front of the ocean, with a cup of coffee in hand of course. I hope that this life has only been good to you, even through all of the struggles, and difficult times that you have been through. The most important thing is that I hope you are HAPPY. I hope you are living a comfortable lifestyle and are happy with you and how far you have grown as a person. I hope you are happy with how far your career has come and I hope you are completing your passion of being the best teacher that you can be. I hope you are showing today's children what is vital in this world, and are providing them with the proper knowledge and showing them the power of books, language, and ideals.

I hope that you are sitting right by the side of your husband, and loving children. I hope that you are sitting next to your significant other, partner in crime, and best friend that makes you smile at every instant and loves you more than you could ever imagine. Because that is what you deserve. I hope that your children are all you have longed for and are doing everything you can to provide their lives with pure joy and love just like your mother did for you. I hope you are being the best mother you could ever be, with providing your children with endless opportunities and positive experiences. I hope you are giving your children everything your mother gave you and more. I hope that all of your hard work, dedication, and perseverance has all paid off. I hope you have not the perfect family because there is no perfect, but a family that you are proud of every single day.

I hope that you are sitting back reflecting on your life, and are just simply awed. I hope you wake up every day with a big smile every day and are still the strong person that you always have been. I hope you are still beginning every new day with a positive attitude and are always ready to tackle that day with no matter what struggle or event that is going to happen that day. I hope you are giving back to those that are less fortunate, and are still the caring person in whom would drop anything in the world for your significant other, children, friends, family, or a random person on the street. I hope you are looking back at your past, realizing what an amazing person you have always been and wouldn't regret anything. Last, but not least I hope you know how many lives, people, and souls you have touched within this crazy ride called life. You should know that that doesn't go unnoticed, I hope you know the people you are surrounded by appreciate you more than you could imagine. I hope you are proud of who you have become because you damn well should be.

Much love,

Gabrielle
