My Daughter

I don't know if I tell you enough how much you mean to me. I often think that I expect more of you than I do of your brothers and wonder how fair that is. I see so much of myself in you, yet have begun to see lately how much you are turning into your own person. I would have had twenty children if that's how many it took to have you...my girl, but God gave you to me first. He chose to give me only one girl, so all of the love that I can pour into a daughter will be yours alone. You are the daughter that I have loved since before I had you....the one that I have grown to love more because I did!
