Dear Bella,
The greatest joy in my life is being your mommy. This isn't exactly the way I imagined I would be raising you, but I want you to know how very much I love you and that I will always be here for you no matter what. Please know I am doing the very best I can to give you the life you deserve. Even though I have to work a lot, know that you are with me every moment of every day. Everything I do is for you, baby girl, and I wouldn't have it any other way. These past three years have been the best, and most difficult of my life and even though it's hard being just the two of us, I know the relationship we have is because of that. I am enjoying every minute of watching you grow into this beautiful little girl. You amaze me every single day. I love your silly little songs you sing and hearing you laugh. I could sit for hours just watching you play. You are mommy's whole world and I cherish the bond we have. You are the smartest three-year-old I know and while I wish time could stand still, I cannot wait to see the brilliant things you do as you grow up.
I love you most Monkey!
Love,
Mommy
I am joining a group of very talented photographers for this very personal "Letters to Our Daughters" project. Please continue through our circle and visit Laura Shachmut of Shachmut Photography and read her letter to her daughters.
Precious all around! :-)

Beautiful words and a gorgeous little girl! Love all the details!
ReplyDeletesuch pretty blue eyes! I really love the detail shot of the tiara, it speaks so much of childhood, I think.
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies!
ReplyDeleteYou're letter brought a few tears to my eyes... I'm the product of a single mom (for a while at least), too. Now as an adult, I total get my mom's (and your) sacrifices. I know your daughter will appreciate reading how you felt about them at the time. :) But enough seriousness! I think my favorite photo is the tiara shot.
ReplyDeleteLook at those eyes! Beautiful letter for a beautiful girl.
ReplyDeleteShe is lucky to have you as a mom! Beautiful letter.
