My Letter To Rhylie

When I first found out I was pregnant with you, I was scared and happy at the same time. Not fully knowing all the joy and happiness you would bring me when you arrived, I was overwhelmed. You my love, are the best thing that ever happened to me. For the past 16 mo. I have had the absolute time of my life watching you grow. Even though you are reaching your terrible 2's, I wouldn't change the way your are for the world.

You have taught me so much that I could have never taught myself. We have been growing together and it's been the best learning experience I've ever had. I never imagined having a baby girl as special as you. You're perfect and I want you to always remember that. I want nothing but the best for you and I know your going to be something great, cause already at your age of 16 months, you're very advanced.

I want you to know as you get older and things get tough that you can always come to Daddy and I. I'm your mother, but I'm also your friend, and mommy will always be there for you. Don't you ever forget that. You mean the world to me and so much more, I'm so truly blessed to have gotten you as my daughter! I mean that with all my heart. You are so beautiful inside and out and so full of love. I don't ever want that to change. I want you to promise me you won't settle for anything less than what you deserve and that you'll never change who you are to make some guy happy. I need that promise from you. You being you is what shapes who you are and I can't imagine you any other way.

Make sure you always remember to take care of your self as you get older. Don't loose connection with your self. That is very important. Don't do anything that don't truly make you happy. Being happy is what truly matters. One of my favorite quotes is, "You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have." I want you to always be strong and independent! That's the type of girl I can already see you being right now! Rhylie you are my first baby/daughter and with out you I don't know where I would be. The day you were born (2/11/2009) you had my whole heart and one day when you're graduated from college and happily married, you too will be writing a letter to your son/daughter and will understand all the feelings I have for you, so much better than my words can ever describe. Just remember I love you, Rhylie Breanne, you're my angel and always will be, My Little Girl.!

Love Always, Mom
