Look at you! So wrinkly and silently snug in your blankie. What a rough start huh?

It’s just you and me. I’m not sure how I’m going to do this. Right now I feel as helpless and as tiny as you are.

The world is a big place, little one. And it’s full of people and things that could hurt you. But it’s also full of some beautiful sights and souls.

Seek out kindness, strive to help others. You’ll find happiness in this bloodthirsty world.

Don’t be afraid to love. It is your greatest gift.

You have so much potential! But don’t worry about making the most money, just do what you love. A lot of people go to college for a degree they never use.

I’m still young, for an adult. I will be growing and learning right along with you. That’s a little scary, but I promise never to make you pay for my mistakes.

Take care of your body, it’s the only one you have. Don’t eat the wrong things, don’t do drugs, and get regular check-ups! I want you to thrive in this world with me.
