Reverence and self awareness
Manners and empathy
Humor and peacemaking.
My daughter is not a normal 3y old
She has an old soul…
And independent from us
She will accomplish great things.
Jaclyn,
I love you
And I delight in you every day
Though I admit at times I wish
you didn’t follow me everywhere
Like a little shadow.
I love being your mom.
You teach me things
You bring me joy
You challenge me
You are a wonderful Daughter
And every time I tell you that
You flutter your eyelashes.
You love compliments
You love words of affirmation
You love hugs and snuggles
You love chocolate
And music and dancing,
You love milk by the gallon
And you are strong
So strong physically
And mentally
Polite beyond measure
More than many older kids
or even adults I know
And you have a great memory.
You already understand your daddy
When he speaks English to you.
“How do you say in English?”
The endless question
Posed with a sweet little voice.
You delight anyone who meets you,
Social and courageous.
You have been in our lives
For less than 3 months
But we can’t imagine life without you!
You have made us parents
And we have called you by name
-Beloved Daughter.
