To My Best Friend's Daughter

I love you more than I could ever say.

To My Best Friend's Daughter

Baby girl, I want to start out by saying I love you more than anything this world. I loved you from the moment I found out you were on the way. I loved you from the moment I say the picture your dad sent me the day you were born. Your mom and I have been friends for as long as I can remember, and to be able to call you my niece is the greatest honor I could have ever received. I know you're too young to understand now, but my hope is that one day I can read this to you, and hopefully all the thing I have to say will be true.

I promise that I will always be there for you. No matter how far away I am, or what time of day or night it is, I am only just a phone call away. Even if you're 15 and at a party where you need to get away from, I'll come pick you up. I won't even tell your mom. Or if you just broke up with your first boyfriend and think your mom won't understand, I'll be there to listen. I'll even probably threaten to kick his ass for hurting my precious niece. And I promise to be there when you argue with your mom. I'll agree that's she's awful, but still give you the advice you need to hear.

I promise to be at the events that mean the most to you. From VIP day at school to high school graduation, you better believe I'll be there. And I'll be the one cheering the loudest.

I promise to spoil you. And oh, will I spoil you. From new clothes to spa days, if I can give it to you, I will. I'll give you the pop your mom says no to, feed you sweets and then drop you back off at home. I'll do all the things the cool aunts do, and I'll do it 1000 times better.

But most of all, I promise to always love you. I promise to be a constant in your life. Even if you have annoyed the crap out of me, and I may snap and show my annoyance, I hope you know my love for you will never waiver. Even when I have my own children, you'll always hold a special place in my heart.

I love you darling, and know that if I could be there reading this to you now I would be. But sometimes life isn't fair, and I can't always be where I want. But you better believe I'll always, always, be there when you need me.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
