Open letter to my unborn. We have not met yet, and we may not meet for quite some time. But there are some things I would like to tell you, while I am thinking of them, and before I get too busy delighting in your smile, and your tiny fingers, and your solemn eyes, and the way you smile at butterflies, because they are your friends. I am still learning to pause, and if I do not now, I will not have a chance to remember to write this down, a chance to remember how I feel today, and how I felt when I realised I couldn’t wait to meet you There are many children in this world, dear son or daughter. And I want you to know, in your bones, that you are a wanted one. I want you to know this, because it took me a long time to discover There are many paths, and many doors, and so many possible yous, my dearest—do not settle into the easiest one, do not open the door that is closest, or be the person that your best friend thinks you should be, or choose the life that seems like it makes everyone else happy Cry, and laugh, and sing, and yell, sometimes, if it feels good. Do both, and all, and revel in the feelings. Revel, because life can be rich and it can be messy, but, more often, it is good and precious, too. Don’t miss out on any of it. You are not us, your family, although you have come from us, whether biologically or simply from our love for you. We are here to support you. To guide you. To honour your unique experience, as you test the waters, and push the boundaries, and begin to find out who you are inside I hope you inherit my ability to plan. With that you will be able to face all things in life as a strong woman or man. Have my big heart; know what emotions are and how to be real but receive your fathers discernment, so youll know when to let go before getting hurt Share your fathers strength so you can handle what you feel. I hope you learn from my spirit and let no one take it. Believe me you will need it in life, and many will try to break it. But with that spirit you must have your fathers centre. With that you will be cautious of any door you enter Share my sense of humour! Laugh a lot it helps you through life. Share your fathers sense of duty. Know how to be serious and take strife. Im emotional so Ill tell you its okay to blubber once and a while like your Mom. But learn to develop what your father has; an excellent sense of calm But most of all the things I wish for your father and I to share. I wish we teach you to love, respect, strength of mind, and to care. These are my feelings, wishes and hopes for you. I did not give you life, for me to watch, to worry, to hang on to. I gave you life, for you. Use your wings, dear king or queen. I welcome you to the world and thank you for the joy. See you soon.
