Love

 The image of her is one of trust.  She has the undeniable look of accomplishing anything. Her world is one of a journey full of dreams with stairs made of conquests. Never reaching the top, because that would mean her journey was complete. Her life will unfold with amazing events. some sad, some scary. some will be absolutely amazing. She will stumble and fall but she will always get up one more time than she fell. 

My dear sweet girl, you were born pure and beautiful, the image of God. You are the image of God, that image resides in you. Born of light that was molded into the woman you are today. Shaped by the people  that were shaped by the people before them, and on and on. Shaped by the events that which is called life. How I wish I could have whispered in your ear, letting you know that above all things, you are perfect. How proud I am of your strength. resilience, perseverance, determination, kindness, generosity, and your love of life to name a few. Yes you do have qualities that would be deemed as undesirable but for this intended purpose I'm going to set those aside. 

I want you to know that you will always be safe and loved even though it won't feel like that at times. You will question why this or that happens; just look at what 'this' or 'that' is and you will see you are questioning the 'bad' things. You will feel lost but know that there will always be someone that takes your hand to help you find your way. You will feel sad, cry and grieve but know that there will always be someone there to comfort you. You will laugh with pure happiness, silliness, and overwhelming excitement and will always have someone to share that with. You will question yourself, not knowing if what you will do is the right thing or not. Always have faith in yourself that whatever you do, no matter how it turns out, you will find a way a path that leads to betters things. You are more loved than you can possibly fathom. Truly believe that what YOU want is important, not for any other reason except just because you want it. Don't let anyone ever make you question yourself.  You have a kind heart and an inherent zest for life. You will always see the good in people and some of them will take advantage of this. If anything doesn't feel right, stop and ask why it doesn't feel right?  Follow your intuition, it's there for a reason. You are a bright shining light, so full of life and curiosity. Always wanting to learn, sometimes just for the sake of learning something new. Your heart will be broken, several times, by people; just remember your worth, you are the best thing that ever happened to them. You will grieve the loss of many things, just know you are a strong little girl, and that the hurt you feel will heal. Be patient, it may take, what seems like forever, but it will come. You will look back on your life several times, wondering 'what if'. To tell you how your life will unfold would be unjust to you, that would defeat the purpose of living it. Just know, whatever happens, happens for a reason. Have faith in yourself, keep positive thoughts, always be kind, always be grateful and always forgive. You were put here for a reason, that reason is to shine. You are a bright shining star that illuminates everything around you, keep that thought with you, always. Have comfort in the fact that the future can not be predicted and in reality, shouldn't be. What fun is playing the game if you already know the outcome? 

You are the best thing that ever happened to me. You will always be in my heart, you are and always will be a success story.
