And the way you don’t let anyone tell you what to do (other than your daddy and me) makes me want to hug you and never let you go. Weed out anyone who makes you feel lesser. You are way too amazing to be wasting time on toxic people. You are a natural-born leader, and your incredible talent for making friends has always impressed me. These traits will continue to serve you as a graduate. Just as an example: “We must show ourselves as courteous and courageous well meaning Americans” It doesn't seem that difficult to me to extend that message worldwide, just swap it out for humans, or people etc.) It was a special day for me as I had become your father. You have been very precious to me. I believe that you enjoy the special bond we share among each other as father daughter duo. Together we indeed make a good team and played pranks with your mother. I indeed enjoyed the way it has been.

But I’m sure you’ve already figured that out. Through life, we all make mistakes. No matter how genuine, hard-working, and kind we are. Jaunty, brave, moving and immensely appealing, this is a gloriously endearing inspirational story in the tradition of Tuesdays with Morrie and The Last Lecture ... although with slightly more dry martinis. When your daughter doubts herself, let her know you see her strength, courage, and brilliance even when she doesn’t. Give her some examples of moments when she displayed these qualities. Here in short spellbinding essays are glimpses of the tumultuous life that led Angelou to an exalted place in American letters and taught her lessons in compassion and how she was brought up by her indomitable grandmother in segregated Arkansas, taken in at thirteen by her more worldly and less religious mother, and grew to be an awkward, six-foot-tall teenager whose first experience of loveless sex paradoxically left her with her greatest gift, a son. I read this book for the Diversity in All Forms book club!

I can hardly believe it’s already been a year since you came into our lives and brought so much joy and love with you. You have grown and learned so much in this first year, and I’m so proud of the little person you’re becoming. There are so many things that I need to tell you right now and I hope I can keep my composure while reminiscing about all of our beautiful moments together. Let's tell the truth to people. When people ask, 'How are you?' have the nerve sometimes to answer truthfully. You must know, however, that people will start avoiding you because, they, too, have knees that pain them and heads that hurt and they don't want to know about yours. But think of it this way: If people avoid you, you will have more time to meditate and do fine research on a cure for whatever truly afflicts you.”

I have also dreaded the end each stage of my life, only to realize there were more exciting things to come. Becoming a mother to my sweet little girl was the best thing that ever happened to me. God knows I tell her how much she means to me on a regular basis. But if something were to happen and suddenly, I was gone, how would she cope? On your first birthday, I wish you a lifetime of love, happiness, and adventure. May all your dreams come true and may you always know how much you are loved. Keep the list handy and draw from when you want to write her something she can keep close. Letter to Your Daughter: 13 Heartfelt Sentiments to Consider
