Dear
Mommy and Daddy,
I
write this letter to you in hopes that you will consider
your approach to parenting me before I arrive. I am a joyous
child. I thrive on love and respect, order and consistency.
When I arrive, I will seem very small to you. Even though I
don't look like an adult, please understand that I am a
human being.
Even
though I will not speak words to you, I will know you with
my heart. I will feel all your feelings, absorb your
thoughts. I will come to know you more than you may know
yourself. Do not be misled by my silence. I am open, growing
and learning more rapidly than you can imagine.
I
will make imprints of all that I see, so please give me
beauty to rest my eyes upon. I will record all that I hear,
so please give me sweet music and language that tells me how
much I am loved. Give me silence to rest my ears. I will
absorb all that I feel, so please wrap our life in love.
I
am waiting patiently to be with you. I am so happy to have
the opportunity to be alive. Maybe when you see me you will
remember how precious life is too!
Your
joyous child
