Dear child. I know it’s still too early to write this letter. Heck I’m not even sure what my purpose in life is. The years are moving quite fast and I can’t wait to meet you. I don’t plan to bring you into this world while I’m still unprepared and unstable. Child, your daddy wants to make sure that he secures your future. Child, I don’t want you to grow up in a negative atmosphere. I don’t want you to think no one loves you. Daddy will give you anything you need. Time to talk, time to bond, time to laugh and play, time to share your deepest desires and dreams, time for you to grow and always know Daddy loves you.

I woke up this morning just thinking. I don’t want you growing up feeling less than. I don’t want you growing up thinking you should “fit in” into societal norms. I don’t want you growing up picking on others and hating them. I don’t want you to think that you have to fight for your place in this world. Child you are enough and Daddy loves you. Damn, I still haven’t planned you but already I get emotional.

Dear child. You are the only reason why I wanna live long. Just know you will never grow up poor or underprivileged. Child, Daddy is fighting for you. I know it in my gut that I’ll be the best for you. I make sure I pay my therapy sessions because I don’t want my past traumas inherited on you. Daddy is healing all his wounds and abandonment issues child.

This is to you my child. I will take care of you. I will love you. I will support you. I’ll be by your side whenever you need a shoulder to cry on. I will be your leader and I will lead you to a abundant life. I am not God but trust me home will be your heaven. Me and your mom will make sure we give you a place to call home. My child, the love will be enough, and so will the teaching and learning be. Everything I do and wherever I go will be for your legacy. I will represent you with every step and I will introduce you to everyone I meet, even if you’re not here yet.

This is Daddy’s Letter To You My Child. While I’m figuring out a way for you in this life right now, I hope your mother will stumble upon this letter and know that we do this for you.

From Your Daddy

I Love You, My Child.
