Thank you for bringing her into this world.

I have so many things to thank you for, and I don't know that I'll ever be able to fully express to you how much your daughter means to me. I will try, but sometimes words can't explain my true gratitude and emotions.


Thank you for raising such a beautiful soul. She sometimes doesn't always see how beautiful she is, and she can't figure out for the life of her why I love her, but you've done a really good job with her. She is really determined and ambitious, and I'm sure you had part responsibility in that fact. She knows what she wants, and she doesn't stop until she gets it. She is so strong, and I can't help but think you're one of the major reasons why.


Thank you for being there for her. You raised three children by yourself and yet you made time for each one of them. I don't think she ever felt like you weren't there for her or like she was unloved, even for a second. She talks about you like you are her world, and I hope you feel as if you're an amazing mother (because you are).


Thank you for helping her come to Wells, whether it be through academic, emotional, or financial support. I know she worked really hard in high school and did well, so part of it was on her. I'm sure your support helped her get through school, though. If she hadn't come to Wells, I more than likely would've never met her. That to me would have been a tragedy because she is such a special woman. Anyone would be lucky to have her in their lives.

Even though we did get the chance to meet, I want to remind you of a few things:

I treat your little girl like a princess. She always knows how much I love her and how much she means to me. I promise to always treat her well, and please know she is safe with me. I love that girl with everything I have, and I hope we stay together for a really long time. My goal is to always be there for her whether she needs someone to listen or hold her or whatever it may be. She will always know what she deserves as long as she is with me. I promise, she is in really good hands, and I treat her with the utmost respect and delicacy. She's precious in my book, and I hope you can see that I am good for your daughter.

I'm so glad I got to meet you. I got to see why she loves you so much. I got to see where she gets her beautiful smile from. Please know that you are a wonderful mother, and I am grateful for your role in her life. You are truly a blessing to her. Thank you for everything.

Love,
Emily

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.
