Oh my darling darling girl,
you know that I love you more than anything in this world.
And that is why I am writing you this letter.
I'm sure by now you have reached the age where boys look attractive.

So my sweet sweet girl I will tell you this
I will not be able to stop your first kiss,
but I will tell you to cherish it.
I will not be able to stop you from having your first boyfriend,
but when you break up, don't date someone like him again.
I will not be able to stop your first heartbreak, try as I might,
but I will be with you as you cry through the night.
I will kiss your head and wipe your tears away.
And if I seem angry, do not think it is towards you,
rather it is towards myself for not being a better mom and protecting you
and towards the boy who hurt you.
I will not be able to stop your first time,
but I will be here for you if things go awry.

As pretty as that boy may be, my girl,
He is not worth it.

You are going to drink yourself stupid over many boys before you are married, and all I ask is that you do not drive.

My sweet girl, I love you oh so very much, I am not here to be your friend,
I am here to be your protector.

For a daughter is a mothers girl girl forever.
