Dear Tyla Ann,
Judah Paul,
Orion Ann,
Joseph Paul,
I know you will have the soul of a selfless individual. Your name will be one who honors and amplifies you. You will never want for love because it will always be yours to have. I want you to love yourself but know you will always be loved. You will have endless family, but you will be the center of everyone’s hearts. Easter will be for family and faith. Thanksgiving will be for appreciation and generosity. Christmas will be unparalleled. Your birthday will be full of cakes and confetti. Your godmothers will spoil you profusely, but their wisdom will be something to keep. Nothing will conquer you. Poems and books will speak of you, but your grandmother was the one that would have spoken of you with great reverence. I know you will be in the center of the morning and the last prayer of the night. Your father will be of few words in numerous moments but in your toughest times he will be on your side and will never leave you behind. You will always be worthy in this life.
This is my hope and truth for you. Waiting for you to arrive has been difficult but once you are here, the wait will not be anything but time.
Sincerely,
Your mother
