To my Elsie

To my darling Daughter the night before her birth.

My life is going to change for the better tomorrow because you will be here. The thought of holding you in my arms brings happy tears to my eyes. Oh how long I have waited for you and now here you come. I wish so much many things for you, but here are the things that I dearly hope you will always know:

That I love you unconditionally. You have my whole heart and there is nothing in this world that will ever change that.

That you have a father in heaven who knows and loves you unconditionally as well. Who will always be there for you.

That I know that the church is true. The we have a loving father in Heaven and a brother who gave his life so that we can return to live with him. Elsie the church is true and I hope so much that you will learn that from me and your father and hold closely to it for the rest of your life.

Words can't express the love that your family feels for you. I hope you come into the world tomorrow knowing and feeling that. And that you will never ever forget it.

I love you my darling Daughter,

Mommy
