I am so excited to be sharing a monthly letter to Myla on the blog. I sometimes fumble with my words but I hope to use this time to speak to Myla, to give her a little glimpse into what it was like to be her mom and what she was like when she was three. I hope when she is older she can look back on these letters and photos with a smile.
Dear M,
Words can’t describe how lucky I am to be your mom. I am going to try though. You have the best personality. Lovable and you laugh a lot. I am lucky that you shower me with “I love yous” all day long. Your imagination is so vast. I love the silly games you play, like your obsession with being a puppy dog. When you are in puppy mode, I can’t call your name. You bark at me and demand to be called a puppy. You remind me of your sister. Whenever I miss her, I look at you and know she is still with us. She loved you so very much and was so happy to be your big sister. I really hope you have a few memories of her but if you don’t, I can help you remember her. You have her eyes and her nose and sometimes your laugh sounds the same. I am grateful to have a glimpse of what she might have been though you. I know you miss her but you have the most special angel watching over you. I am also grateful that you are growing into such a charming little lady. I look forward to each day I get to watch you grow.
Love,
Mom
