“Letters to my daughter”
Dear Amelie,
It’s been a while since I last wrote you a letter like I used to when you were little, and I have to admit, it makes me a bit nostalgic to realize I set aside something that was so special between us. I always imagined you would read those letters someday when you were “older,” not realizing that day has already come because today, you are a teenager, and I’m not sure when you grew up so much.
I feel deeply proud of you. Not just for what you do, but for who you are. Your faith in God is strong, and your heart carries a reverence, a sensitivity, and a deep respect for Him. That is a treasure, Amelie. That is what sustains a life guided and blessed by God.
You are determined, consistent, and committed, and you have a way of loving that is intense and genuine. Maybe you’re not the most expressive with hugs or words, but your actions speak with a strength that needs no translation. I have seen your warmth in small details, in quiet gestures, in the way you show up. And that is worth more than a thousand words.
I also see how you are growing emotionally, how you are beginning to understand yourself more, to mature, and to discover parts of you that were not so clear before. And even though there are still many areas within you that you haven’t fully explored your talents, your abilities, your hidden strengths I know that little by little, you will discover them. There is so much within you that is still waiting to bloom.
You already have your first job, and it fills me with pride to see how seriously and responsibly you are taking it. It’s not common to see someone your age with that level of commitment. I love your energy, and even the small things like how sensible you are about eating healthy. Details that may seem simple, but they speak volumes about who you are.
The relationship you have with your dad is so beautiful. It has always been so genuine, so natural, so full of sincere love. He loves you deeply. You will always be his “princess”.
I want you to never forget this: you are deeply loved. First by God, who thought of you, formed you, and called you with purpose and then by us, who have the privilege of being your parents. You are not alone, and you never have been.
God has great plans for you, promises that will unfold little by little. There are beautiful things ahead, things you cannot yet see, but that are already being prepared for your life.
I will be here… always. By your side, in every stage, every change, every victory, and every difficult moment.
With all my love,
Mom
