A Parent’s Loving Message

My Dearest Emma, There are no words big enough to capture the love I feel for you, but my heart overflows with it every day. I miss you deeply, more than I could ever say. Every time I think of you, it feels like my soul is reaching out, just hoping you know how much you are cherished. I haven't always been the perfect parent—I know that. There were times I stumbled, and there were moments I wish I could do over. But Emma, please know this: from the moment you came into my life, you were the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I’ll never forget that day. I remember the world falling away the second I laid eyes on you, like nothing else mattered but the sight of you in my arms. It was as if the entire universe paused just to celebrate your arrival. In that moment, I knew that the greatest gift I would ever receive was being your parent. You have become everything I could ever hope for and more. The pride I feel when I think of you—your strength, your kindness, the way you light up a room—is beyond measure. Watching you grow into the remarkable person you are today has been the greatest joy of my life. And though I might not have always said it or shown it in the best ways, I want you to know that my love for you is endless. It’s in every beat of my heart, in every breath I take. Thank you, my sweet Emma, for being the light in my life. I love you more than words could ever express, and I am forever proud to be your parent. With all my love, [Mom/Dad]
