To my sweet daughter: I may not be able to come to every field trip Because mommy has to work I may not be able to attend every class party or every school holiday or every PTA meeting I want you to know in my heart I am always with you Even though this life has dealt us a complicated hand I will do the best I can to be everything you need me to be. Mom and Dad all in one, provider and parent My heart breaks that I am not able to always be there Not able to give you the world like I wanted to before you were even born. Know your love fills my heart, know I would lay down my life to protect you. Know that I would sacrifice every thing weather it be possessions or persons For you. At night I watch you sleep and wonder and pray That one day you will understand, one day you will see how much mommy worried for you, wished for you, How hard mommy tried to be everything I am sorry sweetie that some days I find myself so exhausted that I barley have the energy to play My mind constantly races all night long and all day Making sure I did everything I needed to for you that day, making sure I can save for school things like pictures, book fair, summer camp, valentines. I never want you to go without, and I promise I will do anything I have to so that you don't have to experience that feeling. And if you get a boo boo I will always be there to kiss it and make it better And if someone breaks your heart I will be there to hug you and buy you ice cream to make it better. Seeing you smile lights up my life, is my reason for living Even though its just mom I promise that always and forever I will love you Never dessert you
