For my daughters,

Grace, Patience, and Lily,

I am spilled over with love for you.  As you grow before my eyes, I see you now and at every age you've ever been.  

As I watch, I see glimpses of the women you're becoming as you challenge yourselves and this world, as you create and chase your passions.

Never worry to define what you will be when you grow up.  You are alive and here now, bringing beauty to the world.  You're brilliant and open.  Your hearts are strong and full.  You've arrived and you'll keep arriving.

What a wonderful thing to see you loving people, making new things, doing good work, filling your minds and running your bodies; living it all up.  What a mighty thing to live as a woman without fear.  That's my prayer for you today, every day.

Love,
Mom
