my hopes for you

Little One

This is a letter to you to prepare you for life.

You have a beautiful mommy and a hard working daddy.

A few aunts ready to spoil you rotten and a grandma and grandpa that are ready for their first grandchild

But you have a long road ahead of you.

Many triumphs and a few set backs to be expected.

But whatever may come your way,

Your family will be there.

This world is a crazy place,

just like home,

Has many unexpected events.

In your lifetime you will see and experience many surprising things.

There are times when you will be overwhelmed by expectations,

Take it one day at a time.

when you need clarity come home,

There will be several firsts, from your first smile to your first crush.

Theres not many last in life, live like you dont expect tomorrow.

There will be good times and hard times but the people, who love you and care about you the most will be there from the first smile to hardest times,

Will always be your family.

Whether you're mommy's angel or Daddy's little one-mini

Your parents will always be around, This house will always be home.

There will be times that you think Mom and Dad have no idea what you are going through; we have all been there.

There will be times that you feel everyone is against you-we just want to keep you from making our mistakes.

At some point you'll look back at everything and realize that mom and dad were right

It's a scary feeling,

I know first hand.

In everything you do-

I wish you luck.

Follow your dreams,

Reach for the stars.

But never forget where you came from.

Also take it from me-

They say that you cannot come back home,

Obviously they don't know our family

In this family, the road always leads back home.

So little one-

Welcome home,

We have waited awhile for this day.

Are you ready for this crazy thing we all call life?

You waited for years to have a home all your own, And now, now its time to make your life and family's home,

Do you proud my child, and make the place you are the place you want to be.

You will see having your own will bring you joy, love, goals, and desires.

youre home will always be the slice you are looking for.
