To my little girl August 3, 2017 edition

My little girl.
My angel.
My darling.
I miss you so.
I love you...so.
I think of you with every breath I take.
Over these years you have grown so much. When I compare all the photographs, your drawings/artwork, and the videos (i.e. some before you were born, then when you were born, and so many. Your childhood is documented and I am so proud of you. You were our blessing from God and I thank him for you - your family - your brothers - your mother - etc.
I hope you grow up with confidence. With passions. With curiosity. With a thirst to learn. With thanks for all you have as so many care about, and love, you. Many you have never met. I hope you work hard. Enjoy reading books. Loving nature and the outside world away from Reston. I hope you try...hard. You were blessed with a strong mind and a fast learner. You truly can do anything if you absorb materials, books, sources, experts, and work hard. Go above and beyond.
Your mother carried you with the medical complications that could have resulted in a miscarriage. Everyone prayed for you during those months. I loved you before you were born and each minute afterward. We were the most excited parents in the world when you were born and you were...beautiful. Our hearts will always be linked throughout your life.
I have to go now.
Love forever

Dad
