How precious… I’m sure she treasure those beautiful moments too
It is not an easy journey, I’m sure the right time will come for you and your husband.
Moment spend together is just so precious.
I appreciate you saying this. It means so much. 
Oh! Just thinking about this activity already brings tears to my eyes.
My dearest children Aud & Aut,
Being your mom is the greatest feeling I could ever have. I remember the days that I held you for the first time. Your baby smell, your little fingers, your tiny smiles will forever be in my heart. Seeing you both grow to be the individuals you are makes my heart flutter and assures me that despite of the hardships, I am doing something right. I hope that you will both be a better version of us. Grow to be kind, happy and successful.
If you get to read this letter in the future, please know how much I love you both! Life is not easy, but mommy got your back all the time. Love you so, so much.
To my two beautiful girls, and my sweet little boy,
There is nothing in this world that I could ever love more deeply than the three of you. Before any titles, before any accomplishments, before anything else in my life — I became your mom. And that has been the greatest privilege, honor, and purpose I could have ever been given.
To my oldest daughter, my 19-year-old, and my first born; —Jayden Marie
Watching you grow into a young woman has been one of the most emotional and beautiful experiences of my life. I still see flashes of the little girl you once were in your smile, your expressions, the way you laugh, talk, and act. It feels impossible that time moved this fast. I know there were moments when life wasn’t perfect, moments when I was still learning how to navigate everything while trying to be the best mother I could be. But through every mistake, every hardship, every change life brought us, my love for you never wavered for even a second.
I hope you know how proud I am of you — not just for what you do, but for who you are and who you are becoming. You carry strength in ways you probably don’t even realize. And even though you are growing into your own life now, you will never outgrow being my daughter. No matter how independent you become, no matter where life takes you, there will always be a place for you beside me. A first born holds a special place in a mother’s heart, forever! And nothing can ever replace that!
To my sweet 11-year-old daughter; — Adilynn Marie
You are at such a tender age, standing between childhood and growing up, and I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. You are thoughtful, strong, sensitive, funny, and so deeply lovable. I know sometimes growing up can feel confusing and emotional. I know there are days where feelings are too big, where the world feels unfair, or where you wonder if anyone truly understands you. I may not always have the perfect words, but I promise I will always try to understand your heart.
Never let this world harden the softness inside of you. Your feelings matter. Your voice matters. And you never have to be perfect to deserve love. I hope you always remember that home should be the place where you can be fully yourself — messy feelings, mistakes, fears and all.
And to my precious 3-year-old son — Declan Andrew
Oh, my baby boy. You came into this world and somehow filled spaces in my heart I didn’t even know were empty. Your little voice, your hugs, your laugh, your endless energy, the way you look at me like I’m your whole world — those are the moments that keep me going on even the hardest days.
One day you will grow bigger and taller and independent too, but I hope a little piece of you always stays this sweet little boy who reaches for my hand and curls up beside me. I want you to know that you are deeply cherished. You are joy. You are light. You are one of the greatest gifts I have ever received in my life.
To all three of you —
I know life hasn’t always been perfect. I know there were hard days, stressful moments, tears, misunderstandings, and times where I questioned whether I was doing enough or being enough for you. But if there is one thing I hope you carry with you forever, it is this:
You have always been loved completely.
Not because of grades. Not because of behavior. Not because of achievements. Simply because you are mine.
I hope the three of you stay close throughout your lives. Protect each other. Be there for one another when life hurts. Celebrate each other when life is beautiful. Long after I am gone someday, I hope you still carry pieces of this family and this love with you.
And if you ever feel lost, lonely, broken, or unsure of yourselves, read this again and remember:
There has never been a version of you that I did not love with my whole heart.
Forever and always, Mom
Awh thank u so much anje!
Dear my little sunshine 
Do you know what my favorite sound in the world is? It’s not music. Not rain. Not even silence.
It’s your laughter. 
From the moment you entered my life, ordinary days became memories worth keeping. Even messy mornings, sleepless nights, scattered toys on the floor… somehow became the most beautiful chapter of my life.
Sometimes I look at you and wonder: “When did you grow this fast?”
I still remember carrying you in my arms, and now you’re slowly learning how to walk through the world on your own. 
If there’s one thing I hope you never forget, it’s this: You are deeply loved. Not because of your grades, success, or achievements… but simply because you are you.
No matter where life takes you, I hope you stay gentle, stay curious, and always protect the beautiful heart inside you.
And even when I become old and slow someday, I’ll still be cheering for you quietly from behind. 
Dear Sons,
We want you both to always know how much we love you. We are so proud of the person you are becoming. You will always be our boys and nothing will ever change that. We support you with whatever path you both choose.
To my eldest, we know life can sometimes feel confusing and overwhelming. Just know that we are always here, ready to guide you and ready to listen to all your problems and never ever doubt yourself. Just be honest and true to yourself always.
To my youngest, you are the sweetest and happiest kid we know. We hope you continue to be this loud and funny. Your laughter and all the weird questions you have are what keeps the family bonded. Dream big and don’t be scared to fail. No matter what happens, we will always be here for you.
We love you boys more than words can say. We are proud to be called your parents and thank you for being our sons. We would never choose it any other way. May you always stay the best of friends for many years to come.
Love,
Mommy & Daddy
PS: I showed this letter to my kids and I got big hugs and kisses from both of them. I think I’ve already won the contest. I’m so lucky, they are the sweetest 
Girl I feel you in sooooo many ways. I pray for yours to come soon as well, it can feel lonely sometimes, I don’t know how you do it solo as well. Hope you know you have a community rooting for you 
Thanks for praying for us In God’s time 
I’m so happy for you naman, your kids are so lovely and sweet, thank you for sharing din!
Salamat Mars means a lot to have a great community here that is supportive 
I’m lucky my parents are very supportive and I can talk a lot about it with my mom, friends and a colleague who’s going through the same as well. But yes it gets very lonely sometimes and just coping with all the frustrations and disappointments is not always that easy.
Good luck to you 
Thank you for sharing this 
I honestly relate so much to the frustration and heartbreak of struggling to get pregnant. It can feel so lonely sometimes, so I really appreciate your openness because I know posts like this can help other people feel less alone too
Your future child is already so deeply loved, and I truly hope this year becomes your year 
The little gift under
Thank you for sharing this I relate to your post so much. I was also pregnant once, but miscarried at 8 weeks last year. After grieving and trying to heal from it, a few months later we found out my sister in law was pregnant, and suddenly everything around us became about pregnancy and babies. Both of my partner’s siblings already have children, and honestly… sometimes it makes me feel a little left behind and outside of it all.
What makes it even harder is that we got pregnant on our very first try last year, so after the miscarriage we decided to wait a few months before trying again. But since then, nothing has happened, and I’ve also noticed changes in my cycle that make me worry even more.
I even have baby clothes already, but I packed them away in storage because it became too painful to look at them all the time 
So I really understand the mix of hope, grief, frustration, and longing behind your words. Your future child is already so deeply loved, and I truly hope both of us get our little miracles someday
Like most parents, I wanted my daughter’s life to be easier, happier and stabler than mine. Unfortunately, she was doomed to suffer some of the same exact heartbreak that I did. Despite that, she is really doing well. She gave me three beautiful grandchildren. I raised her alone, as a single parent. She is in the same situation now after her marriage of over 10 years ended abruptly. She went back to school to start a new career in her early 30’s and is thriving. Juggling a career and a home with 3 kids, 2 of them teenagers, is no easy task. And she lives 1,000 miles away, so I am not nearby to help. I tell her often that I am proud of her, but I think sometimes that falls on deaf ears. My hope is that one day she will look back and realize it was true. She really DID do a great job… An attentive, participating parent, a career woman, a great daughter, a fantastic friend. I wish for you nothing but peace, joy and contentment and satisfaction in knowing all you’ve accomplished. I love you kiddo (no matter what age, always my kiddo).
Yours will come too one day ! I am glad that we have a space that allows us to celebrate and enjoy each other <3 sell the best for your future baby
She is so beautiful! What a lucky to have you as her mommy <3
This is so heartwarming @Sofie_Vanderbeken , your kids sounds like amazing kiddos!
To my dearest nephew Niraj,
No matter how many years pass, how tall you grow and how independent you become, in my heart, you will always be my little boy. When I look back at your early years, my mind instantly goes to your bright, curious eyes and the pure joy you found in the smallest things. I still vividly remember your first steps. That tiny, beautiful milestone where you bravely looked up, took a leap of faith, and stepped into the world.
Watching you grow has been the greatest privilege of my life. These days, seeing you sit through your online classes, entirely focused and managing your lessons with so much dedication, fills me with immense pride. You handle your responsibilities with a maturity that completely blows me away, yet you keep that sweet, gentle spirit that defines you. If there are words I don’t say out loud often enough, it’s how deeply grateful I am to be your uncle. You bring an irreplaceable warmth and light into our home.
As you journey through life, my greatest hope is that you carry your resilience, your beautiful curiosity and your kind heart wherever you go. Never forget that you are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to, but more importantly, know that you are deeply loved just for being exactly who you are.
If you happen to read this letter many, many years from now, when you are building a life of your own, I want you to remember one absolute truth: from your very first steps to whatever grand heights you reach next, I will always be your biggest cheerleader, and my love will always be a safe harbor for you.
With all my love and blessings,
Your Uncle Vinay
