A Letter to my Daughter

I wrote these lines for my unborn child somewhere in my 8th month of pregnancy. I was so eager to hold her and talk to her, that I decided to pen down my thoughts for my child thinking I will make her read one day-

          Dear Sweet little Munchkin,         

Yes, I say you munchkin; because munchkin donuts are my favourites and I will be loving you even more than that; and you would be close to my heart just as those munchkins are to me, anytime favourite.

            

 I do not know how you will look, how you will react and how much close you will be to me when you will be born. I am eager to see you, hold you, touch you, feel you. I want to be everything for you, do everything to support you in all your wills and desires. I want to care and nurture you into a wise woman who is independent yet passionate, couragious, compassionate and capable of taking care of herself; physically, mentally and offcourse emotionally. I want you to be an example in whatever field you choose. I want you to know your boundaries; when it comes to forgiving, self respecting and being ambitious.

             

 I do not expect you to love me back or care for me (because I know you will eventually one day when you get married) but I want you to chase your dreams and ambitions without bothering anyone else and crave your path on your own and walk on it with your own responsibility. Your this behavior will always make me worryless for you; and make me feel proud of you. Thats how my parents have been to me always. 

If you need a support or a word of suggestion I will always be there. I want our relation to be that close. I am fine if you do not recall me rest of the times. I would be happy that my daughter is happy and enjoying spending her journey of life confidently and independently. I will be fine with your choices whether to worship God or not, whether to marry or not, or even whether to remember me or not but I will never be fine with you ruining your own life by any means. In such cases even if we disagree on somethings, I will give you liberty to follow your own path but then if I see you falling down at first step you should heed my advice or atleast follow your opinion to the proof of your righteousness.
