To my little girl who lights up a room when she smiles and who has been given to me to love, guide, and honor…
You continue to inspire me – to be a better woman, a stronger person, a better mom.
You have been brought into my life for a reason and I am forever changed since the moment I saw you take your first breath. Although you manage to steal my patience on a regular basis and probably shaved a few years off of my life from worry, I can’t imagine walking this Earth without you.
I watched you struggle with things that came easy for others and I prayed that you would remain strong and confident. You never gave up on yourself and I never gave up on you.
You are a fighter, one that has more sass and spunk than any little girl I know; you’ve taught me the true definition of hard work, never letting even a single setback get in your way.
I am in awe of you.
I am in awe of how far you’ve come.
You have shown me the face of gratitude.
You were sent from above to teach me the true meaning of courage, resilience and HOPE.
You love without judgment,
You live without prejudice,
And it is YOU who continues to remind me what’s truly important in life.
Regardless of the challenges that still remain, you will get through them – we will get through them and you will be reminded every single day that YOU ARE ENOUGH.
As I watch you play dress up and rock those pigtails in your hair, I am blessed to have the opportunity to watch you learn and grow into an extraordinary little girl and ultimately young woman – one who I know will leave an amazing footprint on this Earth.
My job as your mother is to love, guide and honor you – and I will continue to do that, all the days of my life.
Thank you sweetheart, for being YOU – just the way you were meant to be.

Oh Heather this is beautiful! Talk about tears. So much emotion, pride, and love. This is one of those “print and frame me” posts. xo
Love it. Love it. Love it.
A beautiful letter, Heather. Your little girl is gorgeous!
This is beautiful! And so is your daughter.
Thanks for that Heather…I think every woman needs to hear that…young AND old….this oldie needed it today. =)
This is so beautiful! Knowing we are on a path with them as they develop is a humbling gift, isn’t it?
What a beautiful letter!
I have started writing letters to my boys (almost) every month. It helps me remember to celebrate the things that are going on now, the people they are now, and to remind them (and me) that they are always enough.
Beautiful!!!! I think I need to do this post myself. Love it. Adding it into my queue.
What a beautiful post to share with us…but most of all, your lovely daughter. Simply beautiful.
Such a sweet post for your darling girl!
What a beautiful post, Heather. How lucky you are to have such a special little girl, and how lucky she is to have a mother to remind her of how special she is. xo
What a wonderful letter! Your little girl sounds amazing. This letter is such a gift to her!!
Such a wonderful post. How nice to have this written down. She is just beautiful.
what a beautiful sweet letter to your little girl! I can relate to this!!!
Oh sweet friend, your love? Is stunning. xo
Beautiful Heather!
*sniff* *sniff*
What an amazing letter to your daughter. She is absolutely stunning as are the words you write about her!
Goosebumps, beautiful, beautiful post. I love when you write from the heart, Heather. She will cherish these words some day.
SO precious! **tears**
this touched me so deeply. Our children are so much of what we GIVE THEM..and allow them to be. I can tell that your daughter has all the love, space and encouragement she needs to be just as amazing as her mom.
Frame this, and hang it somewhere she can see if every single day and know how much she is cherished.
WOW. the tears.
This is beautiful. Just when I was thinking about not spending enough time with my little boy… *sniff* Thanks, Heather, for reminding us how sweet life is and what a gift our children are… and how we don’t deserve them.
A little late- but glad I read this one. Beautifully written, Heather…. and what a beautiful, amazing little girl you have.
She is lucky to have such an amazing mama.
Sobbing. You are such a beautiful writer, my friend. I’m lucky to have found you.
So, so lovely, and so, so touching. She’s beautiful, mama!
