Mommy Stories: Dear Baby

By: Monique Staples

Dear baby...

Never let anyone tell you your worth is tied to a number or a letter on a tag.

Never let anyone tear you down because you’re doing something differently.

Never give up when something doesn’t go as planned.

Never stop working hard or growing because there is always room for growth.

Never stop dreaming big because there is no limitation to what you can achieve in this life.

Never stop playing because life will be long without laughter and fun.

But most importantly never forget that in the moments when you falter, in the moments where you feel alone and in the moments where you’re scared - I am right here.

You’re growing up so fast and soon you’ll be out in the world - and that both excites me and scares the daylights out of me!

A part of me wishes you’d stay my baby forever but I also can’t wait to watch you grow into the person you are destined to be.

I love you. Don’t forget mama’s always here for you. So dive into this world full force with the peace of mind that this mama has got your back.
