Dearest Daughter,
I wish many things for you..because i love you as i have loved only a very few before you..even more so than all of them..because you are a piece of my flesh and blood. The laughter in your lips and the gleam of mischief in your eyes make me feel exhilarated..They energise me and at the same time make me fear that you do not lose it as you grow..
May your happiness, enthusiasm and innocence remain with you as you grow in to a beautiful girl, woman, wife and a mother..may you always bubble up with energy and life...may your world be surrounded with colours, sounds and joy..may you see beauty in every thing you behold and may every one behold beauty in every thing you do..may you make as many mistakes you might want to(without knowing ofcourse) and may you learn from every one of them...may you enjoy the simple and ordinary pleasures in life and know them for what they really are..
May you detest anything or anyone artificial..may you grow-up reading as many books as you can..and grow up to be a romantic but pragmatic enough to know the difference between real-life romance and romanticising real-life..may you be frank and direct to your friends rather than be a gossiper..may you have friends who teach you the difference between being frank and being rude like i was taught once..may you always be there for all your friends no matter what..and may you have loads of fun with them always..may you do things impulsively now and then, not always..may you be daring and mischievous..may you laugh often and cry only when really needed..may you always have a friend to listen, hug and chat with you..may there never be a friendless day in your life and if ever one should come, may you have confidence in yourself to carry you through..
May you learn kindness,patience and loving from your grandmother and courage and wisdom from your great-grandmother..may you have friends who teach you sensitivity and a mother who teaches you sensibility(which you surely have)..may your mother be like mine in accepting you as you are, however difficult that might be..may you be your mother's best friend and your mother yours, all your life..
May you have a father who..i dont know what to ask for there..for in that you have the advantage over me it seems..having him is by itself is your greatest blessing i would say:) may you find the strength of a man's arms , wisdom and purse from your father for now and later in a man worthy of you..may you do everything you like , girlish or not and may you be made to feel every inch girlish and womanly by the right man..may you be your own woman not dependent on any of us and may you walk with your held high always..and may we as your parents walk with our head held high too..because of you..
May you never change in essential things and may you retain your spirit no matter what...throughout your life...that my daughter, is what i wish the most for you..that and had you been lucky as me to have an elder brother or a good maternal uncle(i had 4 good ones)..but that is something that cannot be remedied now..may be if god meant for it , you shall have your sibling...may you find happiness, whichever might be the case..and i hope dear lord that i shall make myself better enough for you to be inspired by me..
