Dear Little One,
You and I are so lucky to have such incredible women in our lives. The women that love you and care for you are truly outstanding role models for you. I hope that you will follow their examples and look to them for guidance and motivation. Of course I'm talking about your Mommy and Birth Mom.
Your mom is the most wonderful person I have ever met. She is so loving, kind, gentle, and sweet. She is so sensitive to other people's feelings and would never do anything to ever hurt anyone. She listens to the Spirit and always radiates the Light of Christ. She is gorgeous and makes me feel like a million bucks when I hold her hand. She is really smart; she's learned several languages, she was the first one in her family to go to college, and she's a self-taught photographer. She loves to read and has a way with words that she can clearly explain complex things, provide comfort always in the right way, and she always does that with an eternal perspective. She has such great judgment and is 100% trustworthy. She works really hard for you and our family. Right now she works 3 jobs while I'm in school so that we can give you everything. She's also really talented. She paints and draws, plays the piano, cooks and bakes, sews and crafts, she's an interior decorator, a graphic designer, and a photographer. I promise you that she will take great care of you and will always love you. Just like she has provided security for me in my life, she will do the same for you. I feel like I can take on the world with her by my side. She can be your rock, if you will let her. She is so strong and has gone through some very difficult trials. But she understands the Gospel of Jesus Christ and will teach you how it can bless your life, just as it has hers. Your mom is the only person who I feel really understands my deepest feelings and emotions and has helped me through some difficult times. She will do the same for you too if you are open and honest with her. She loves you more than you will ever know. By being close to her, she makes me want to be a better person. And since I want you to be your best, I hope you will always stay close to your mom.
Although I don't know your birth mom as well as I know your mom, I can't say enough about her either. She also loves you more than you'll ever know. She is doing the hardest thing she'll ever do all because of how much she loves you. She is one of the strongest, bravest, and most selfless people I've ever met. She takes such great care of you right now. Just like your mom, she is loving, kind, smart, and talented. She has such a beautiful life ahead of her. As you grow up she will show you how to be courageous and what it means to be a true friend. She knows what it means to sacrifice for someone you love, because she has for you. She puts other people's feelings and needs before her own. Plus, she's hilarious and so much fun. You will learn a lot from her.
We are both so lucky to have them in our lives. You are so blessed to be surrounded by great women who will be your role models. Not only your mom and birth mom, but also all the other incredible examples in your life like you grandmas and aunts. I hope you will follow their examples and stay close to them. I am so grateful for your mom and birth mom and am such a better man because of them. You are so precious to all of us and we just can't wait for you to be here. I want the best for you, and as you grow up, you will also become a beautiful woman who others will look up to.
I love you,
Dad
