I hope she knows that the most important relationship she’ll ever have is with herself.

I hope she knows to do what is right and not what is easy.

I hope she knows that it is a privilege to watch her grow, even though it also breaks my heart.

I hope she knows that she is capable, and that 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑘𝑦 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑚𝑖𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟 ℎ𝑒𝑟.

I hope she knows that every pain, tear, and heartbreak she experiences I feel a thousandfold.

I hope she knows that she is loved beyond measure and beyond words.

I hope she knows that I will never get it all right, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝐼 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑎𝑙𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑘𝑒𝑒𝑝 𝑡𝑟𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔.

I hope she knows.

Even though I tell her…
