Dear Future Children

You, my children are what I've been waiting for my entire life.

You give me purpose when I feel as if I can no longer go on.

The thought of you not existing breaks my heart.

I can't wait to show you the world. Trips to the zoo in the middle of summer, melting into my shoes. Going camping in the woods and exploring nature. Teaching you to fish. Heck, I'm even excited to teach you to potty.

As your mother, I vow that you will be loved unconditionally. Nothing you could ever do will make me love you less. I may not agree with every decision you make, but none the less I will love you. You will always have a roof over your head, food in you belly, and love in your heart. I may make mistakes along the road, but just know mommy tried.

Always know that you are very special to me. As a young adult, mommy thought you weren't possible. I thought I would never experience the miracle of life. At 23 I found out that you were a possibility. From that day on you were all that I could think about.

I can assure you that mommy's life was made better by you.

As the child of a lady like me, you will learn respect, honor, and kindness. I hope to teach you to grow into humans who change the world. I want the best for you. I can't fathom the thought of you being a turd head. I can only hope you take what I give you and make it grow.

Your grandma and grandpa will spoil you rotten. They will give and give until mommy throws a fit. The will shower you in love and affection. They both have been patiently waiting on your arrival. They had plans for you before I had plans for myself. They have lived for the moment to hold you. They have been dreaming about hugging and kissing you. They have been loving you before you came along

You will have many aunts and uncles whom will die to be around you. You can never have too many people love you. They will also have a hand in spoiling you rotten and teaching you things. They will help you grow and flourish. They will love.

You will have cousins who will be more like siblings. You guys will run and play sand learn together. They will protect you from pain and heartache. They will show you things mommy can't teach and that's perfectly ok. Go ahead and run free in the yard and make up games to play. Enjoy being a kid while you can.

Mommy wants you to know that life would suck without you. You bring a twinkle to my eye. I can't wait for our adventures and our family meals. I can't wait to hold you and stare into those loving eyes. I can't wait to be your mom.
