Dear daughter,
"You're my favorite person in the whole world" is not something you're going to hear me say anymore. Not only is it ____ (1) ____ to Daddy, but it really won't go over well with your baby sister, once she's ____ (2) ____ and learns to talk.
You're the one who burst my ____ (3) ____ wide open. You taught me what uncontrollable, unlimited, ____ (4) ____ love feels like. You turned me into a mom. And ____ (5) ____ you will no longer be my only child; you will always be my first.
You're the first one to make me forget myself. You're the first person I ever said "I love you" to more than 10 times in one day. You're the first human whose ____ (6) ____ I took. With you, I made my first - time mom ____ (7) ____, like letting you ____ (8) ____ the bed onto the floor.
Our baby's coming soon, and while you may not be my ____ (9) ____ child anymore. This ____ (10) ____ gives me the guilts, but, your sister will have some advantages. I can't imagine she will ever be ____ (11) ____ or lonely for long - with you and your songs, dance moves, costumes, and magic tricks. I can't ____ (12) ____ to watch you watching her.
You were the one who ____ (13) ____ to surprise me every day. You're the brave ____ (14) ____ who pulls me by the hand into the future.
So when you're feeling ____ (15) ____ because I'm nursing your sister ____ (16) ____ playing dress -up, or because I might use ____ (17) ____ words with you, but not her, or because I can't stop talking about how ____ (18) ____ she is, know that there is more than enough ____ (19) ____ for both of you.
You will always be my ____ (20) ____.
