An open letter to my Daughters about my daughters.

I have been feeling very, ...everything lately. Mostly full of love, full of tentative fear.

You are my heart. One of you is growing under my heart and the other has grown in it since her 9th birthday. I have hopes and dreams for you, both of you. I can't seem to distinguish the type of love i have for each of you, some people feel i should. But you are my daughters. I fear for you, I rejoice in joy, I love you.

Fifteen years separates the 2 of you.

I am praying for both of you. I am praying for both of your husbands. I am praying for your future children.

I look into the eyes of my eldest daughter and pray that she realizes how much worth she has, and how much worth her sister will put into her opinions. You my dear are the spinner of the world to your little sister. I know you might not believe me, but please trust that I know this. My eldest brother was the one who hung the moon, and stars, and my middle brother was the one who kept them spinning. As the baby sister myself I know how much influence you will have on her, and it will at times (most times) be much greater than the influence I have.

Your choices firstborn will shape your sister. Your choices will be her consequences. Who you date, how you date, when you date, and why you date, will all influence your sister. The mistakes you make, and how you rebound and recover from them will show her how she should also react. You are so very important to her.

Your choices dear second born will shape your sister. Your choices will be her consequences, she will see her past in your present. She will want to protect you from the choices you are making, but you will still make your own choices. Try not to be to defiantly individualized, be your own person, and make your own mistakes, but don't make them just to spite her. You are so important to your sister.

You are both so loved, you both are my world. there is no distinguishing between that love. You are my daughters.

Love each other, support each other, there is nothing greater than the bond of loved siblings. Be there for each other, be supportive, be present, be loving in the hard moments.


I love you, with my whole heart, with all the moon and all the stars.
