A Letter to my Daughter

Dearest Naira,

Two years ago you were this small creature that somehow came out of me. I could not believe you have made me a mum! But you have brought so much joy to so many people!

It is amazing how a picture of you when posted on facebook could have garnered so much likes and comments from so many friends of mummy and daddy.

You were such an easy baby. You smile alot, feed alot and you were a joy to be around with. Although i miss the times when I could just sit at coffee bean and waste the day away, I am still glad that you have kept my days and nights occupied. You are such a learner. You picked up things so fast and you are so full of energy! We are always so amazed with your antics and the things you do to entertain. Of course there are days when you make mummy and daddy mad, but we NEVER love you less!

You are the first and the eldest child in the family (just like me!). I hope you will not find it a burden to be the eldest and the most responsible one. You WILL always have to give in to your little sister, whom we know you love lots. And we WILL always make you give in to your little sister. But I hope you will understand that by doing that, you are building a character full of responsibilities, kindness, sharing, caring and love. And we will always love you for that. We hope you will also know and realise that we both love you both equally just as much, never more than the other and never less.

As you grow up, I hope you will realise that you are love by many and appreciate the love that you get. Life will not get easy but mummy and daddy will always be there for you. For every strength you find, there will also be a weakness. For every time your heart gets broken, you will find a love much stronger and more beautiful later on. Never settle for less but never be greedy for more. Always be considerate of others and don't do what you don't want others to do to you. Love yourself more before you love another and always remember I LOVE YOU no matter what.
