To my dear daughter 

Khushi 

 I love your kind, compassionate heart. 

I love that you are tenderhearted and sensitive, and you cry when your heart hurts. 

I love that you don’t stay sad for long, but instead try to figure out how to make your heart heal. 

I love that you think about others who are suffering and try to figure out how you can help them. 

I love to watch you create things with your hands … like doll clothes and doll food. 

I love the creative gifts you make for others using the supplies we have around the house. 

I love to hear you read. It amazes me how far you’ve come. 

I love that you never gave up on something that was difficult. 

I love how you teach your little sister so many things. 

You are a great instructor and role model for her. 

I love how you are becoming more confident and sticking up for yourself and for others who are being mistreated. 

I love to watch you gracefully glide through the water when you swim. 

I love seeing the determination on your face and your work ethic at practice. 

I love how you support my dreams of being an author and provide me with inspiration to write. 

I love it when you laugh so hard that you get tears in your eyes. 

I love spending time together, just the two of us. 

Your Mom
