Dearest daughter, I hope this letter finds you well and that you know how much I love you. I want you to know that I will not be here with you forever. But I promise to love you for the rest of my life.
I want you to be strong for yourself. I want to share with you some advice on how to be a strong woman…
First and foremost, always remember to love and respect yourself. You are worthy of love and respect and no one can take that away from you.
Dearest daughter, you are beautiful, intelligent and capable of anything you put your mind and to.
I also want to encourage you to be confident in your own skin. There is no need to compare yourself to others, as you are unique and special just the way you are.
Dearest daughter, as you grow and face the challenges of life, I want you to always remember your worth. You are a precious and unique individual with your own gifts and talents to share with the world.
Don’t let anyone ever make you feel less than who you are. Hold your head high and always walk with dignity. Stay true to your values and beliefs, even when others try to sway you.
Remember that your worth is not determined by what others think of you, but by what you know to be true about yourself. I love you dearly and am so proud of the strong woman you are becoming.
My darling daughter, I want to remind you that you are strong, capable and intelligent. Never let any man, or anyone for that matter, make you feel less than you are. You are worth so much more than you may realise.
Always stand up for yourself and don’t let anyone take advantage of you. Your strength lies within, so never forget that.
Surround yourself with positive people who support and encourage you. Most importantly, love yourself and know that you are worthy of happiness.
Lastly, my dearest daughter, don’t be afraid to always stand up for yourself…
From Your Mother.
