Today is 4th of April. So the fourth day of the A to Z challenge. Fourth day, fourth alphabet, fourth post of the month.
D for Daughter! :)
A daughter is a mother's gender partner, her closest ally in the family confederacy, an extension of her self.

Hey Beautiful,
This is to my little girl written
years before you were born. Writing a letter to you in the future, seems weird? No! Just so much special to meet you in your twenties, when I myself is in my early twenties. Coz, maybe in course of time and age I might find these things a bit trivial.
Sweetheart, love u so much. Even
before you were born you were my dream. And when I get to hold you for the
first time will be my happiest moment. The bundle of joy would be with me at
last. And will be my Princess forever.
I want you to know me right from
the moment I started dreaming about you. I want you to know me when I was your
age, are you like me?? Want to know whether your thoughts, ideas and deeds
resemble mine. Don't think I am comparing you. I just wanted to share myself with
you. I want to preserve my optimism, ideologies and passion for me. Right now I want to see my dream of giving a strong hand to the less privileged children to make their life colorful and to adopt a girl.
Always remember.
You are beautiful. Not just from
outside but from within. Your Smile is your biggest strength. I want you to
save a smile under any circumstances, because that makes you strong. Always
look at yourself first thing in the morning.... And however you look ... just
be proud of who you are. There's only one YOU in this whole world. And you're
Unique. Special. Rare. I want you to be your first love. People may love you or
hate you. But remember there are a certain bunch of folks called family and
friends who will love you and be with you for who you are. So treasure them and
cherish them forever. And never take anyone for granted. Respect everyone's
ideologies and their space. Then they will respect yours too.
Read a lot. I want you to read
fairy tales and believe in them. It’s always about the good winning the bad and
living happily ever after. Believe in good. I wish your life is filled with books. Coz you get so much out of a page. Stand up for what you think is
right and be bold. Never hesitate to speak out from your mind. Never stand back
and keep silent. Trust your instincts. Almost every time they turn out to be
right. Keep a journal and update it regularly. It'll help you to track yourself.
Go travel around the world. See what’s
happening at the other part of the world. Understand that this place is not
made of happiness only but with sorrows too. Find happiness in your tears too. It's ok to cry, but never at the drop of a hat. You will have your heart broken, maybe so many times, but don't let that let you down. Cry a bit, talk to your BFF and go out and enjoy the beauty of the world.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes
and take risks. I have done more than
enough and still doing. You’ll learn from both and but try not to repeat the same mistake more than
once. Whatever happens always Believe in God. I want you to go to church
regularly.
Find your passion and hold on to
it forever. It will take you to great heights in career and in happiness. Never
compromise your passion even for me. This is one privilege 'm giving you now
itself.
Be stubborn in your principles.
Peer or parental pressures should not make u change them.
Always lend your ears to others.
Be a good listener. Show concern. Show respect. Remember expect God everyone is
a shade of grey. Accept them for who they are. Find Good in everyone. Treat
people the way you want them to treat you. Trust others but don't let anyone
hurt your feelings. Try never to be the reason for anyone's tears. Try to make a difference in at least a person's life. You will feel blessed for that forever.
Make it a habit to appreciate and
apologize whenever needed.
Find your guy in a person who never
breaks his promises to you, who would smile just to see your smile, who would love you for who you are and who would treat
everyone equally despite of their social status. I love you and when you find someone who loves you a fraction of that, then never take him for granted. Relations are the most important treasure in this
world. Handle them with uttermost care. Love others without jealousy, anger or
grudges. If you don't like a person tell them on their face, but never behind
them.
I won't say that I should be your
best friend but I want you to be mine. I want to share up each and everything
with you. I know one day you're gonna fly away chasing your dreams and life....
but if you think you need to come back for a while.... Don’t hesitate ... I'll be there for you. Always.
Kid, I love you. Have started loving you when I, myself was a child.
You are my dream. :)
For a Beautiful Daughter and an
Awesome Woman.
ME.
God Blez.

Thank u Sarah :)
DeleteThat's awesome! I'd be really interested in reading something my mother wrote when she was my age, especially if it had been written for me.
ReplyDeleteYea, me too. So thought of giving that gift to my future daughter. :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by. :) :)
Thanks for stopping by my D is for Downton Abbey post. Most people's favorite (or only) Jane Austen novel is P&P. It's a classic for sure. If you liked it, definitely watch Downton Abbey; you'll be addicted!
ReplyDeleteI love your letter. I think my favourite line might be "I wish your life is filled with books." I read an idea somewhere to keep a journal to an unborn child while pregnant. If that day every comes for me, that's what I plan to do.
Cheers from Brandy at brandysbustlings.blogspot.ca
Me too gonna do that journal think. It would be awesome way to express the emotions we have and might not be able to express through talks. :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by. :)
