dear little p,
mommy and daddy are bursting with anticipation to
meet you. each week we look forward to seeing what size of veggie/fruit you'll
be compared to as we learn about your rapidly developing body inside mommy's
tummy. you've been a pea, blueberry, raspberry, olive, prune, plum, peach and
this week you're a lemon! even though you're still relatively small, the joy
you bring to our lives cannot be measured.
we want you to know how much we love you already!
since we found out you will be joining our family, you have given us a new
perspective on life and this world. many of the things we used to worry about
seem silly because now we're focused on giving you the best life we possibly
can.
we want you to know we won't be perfect - as your
parents we'll make mistakes. your mommy and daddy are a little goofy and i
assure you there will be plenty of times when we are "the most
embarrassing parents in the world."
please know we will always support you and want what's best for you. we
want to teach you to laugh at yourself - a lot (we laugh at ourselves daily and
it makes life fun ). treat others with respect, even if they're different or
you don't understand them. always be kind. although it may be hard sometimes,
try your hardest not to judge. be brave enough to stick up for yourself and for
others. have the courage to try new things, meet new people, eat new foods,
adopt new beliefs. travel often. seek truth and meaning in this world. never
stop learning. read real books (i promise we'll save some for you even if they
become extinct). explore your creativity. never lose hope.
we don't know if you're a little boy or a little
girl yet, but we already feel the need to protect you. we want you to know life
will be hard sometimes. you will feel disappointment, and anger, sadness,
sorrow and pain. just know things will get better and we're already with you
every step of the way
hold on, to me as we go
as we roll down this unfamiliar road
and although this wave is stringing us along
just know you’re not alone
cause I’m going to make this place your home
settle down, it'll all be clear
don't pay no mind to the demons
they fill you with fear
the trouble it might drag you down
if you get lost, you can always be found
just know you’re not alone
cause I’m going to make this place your home
settle down, it'll all be clear
don't pay no mind to the demons
they fill you with fear
the trouble it might drag you down
ff you get lost, you can always be found
just know you’re not alone
cause I’m going to make this place your home
