Letters To My Daughters | Dearest Sophia

Sweet Sophia,

It has been quite a while since my last letter and I admit this is somewhat overdue. Our family has undergone a bit of change and you have really began to grow and adapt and live right up to the challenges that have come your way. We welcomed a little baby boy into our family, a little brother seemingly just for you. You were the baby for many years and we all held our breath with anticipation as you met him for the very first time. Since that fateful moment it has been nothing but love behind your eyes. You want to help with every little thing.. and I let you. I let you because you are truly helpful but I also let you because I know that you see how important you are and how much you are coming to mean to your little Ezra. I watch how you coo over him and how his very first smiles are often aimed at you. I see how when you hold him you are careful to support his neck and you whisper in his tiny ears little bits of love and affirmation just as I do to you.  You are another little mommy to him.  I am always in awe of the dynamic and how sweet it is to watch you two.

I also know that despite your brave face there are moments when you need me all to yourself and I do my very best to accommodate you there. Not out of duty, but out of love. I want you to know you are just as special if not more so, and I am proud of you. I am so proud of you. And I love you. And you will always be our baby too.

Love you!
Mama
