I seriously couldn't possibly love you more. You'll understand some day when you have a baby of your own, but it's surreal the amount of love I feel for you. You are SO perfect. I hope that you can always look in the mirror and know that your momma knew without a doubt, you are the world's most perfect girl there ever is to walk this earth. I hope you can see in every picture of you, that your momma would see the prettiest girl she's ever imagined or ever laid eyes on.
I love that you look like me and your dad both. I don't know why, but I was so sure you wouldn't look a thing like me, until you were born and it was obvious to me that it is inevitable - your baby looks like you.
I hope you have my best qualities, and your dad's best qualities also. I know you'll develop your own, too, and I know they'll make you even more amazing. I hope you have my gentleness, my ability to understand and forgive, my patience, laughter, and kindness. I hope you have your dad's charm, lovability, sense of humor, hard work ethics, drive, and passion.
If I die young and your dad remarries or brings another woman into your life as a mother figure, I hope you can love and accept her. I hope she talks about me and encourages you to do the same; I hope your dad always talks positively about me and tells you the things he always loved about me and the silly stories we laughed so hard about. I hope he still shows you and tells you that he loves me, forever and ever.
I hope you know it will make it easier for her if you look up to her, confide in her, desire to be around her, and learn from her. I hope she encourages you to be the best you can be, redirects you when you start making choices that aren't ideal, and teaches you how to be a lady, fashionable, with manners.
I hope you thank God for me every night when you lay in bed just as I do for you, every single night.
I hope that you take in God's beautiful earth and allow yourself to slow down and appreciate time and each phase of life that you are in.
I hope you know that friends and boyfriends will come and go, and all that remains is you, so be the you that you want to be and love. Please be proud of yourself and don't change to accomadate to others. But please be open to changing to better yourself, and realize there is always room for improvement. Always look inside yourself first and make sure there's nothing you can do better before you complain or ask someone else to change something about them. Always ask yourself if you are praying about something as much as you are complaining about it. God will come through, I promise.
You will find someone who loves you for you. Don't think that you have to search your whole life for that perfect guy, because the guy who is perfect for you may be right there, baby.
I love you and when things get rough, talk to your dad and others in your life. Talk to your aunts and uncles and grandmas and grandpas. Listen to stories and remember that stories aren't just stories, but they were once the present and real time and we actually experienced those times and felt and loved and laughed and cried.
When you are down, please know that my love remains and I would have done everything in my power to be there holding you during those times, and during your times of happiness and bliss too. When you're down, baby, get your tits up, get 'em up, get those tits right up (my favorite quote from the movie Bad Moms)!

When you were a baby, loud music really soothed you, whether it be in the car or when I'd rock you and sing lullabies very loudly. So turn up the music and belt it out. Listen to records and appreciate the music.
When others don't completely agree with your choice of boyfriend or friend or opinion, chances are I would encourage you to explore and make up your mind, encouraging you make the best decision in the end. Please be open to the idea that the reason you feel like nobody else understands or agrees, may be because they have experienced the wrong decision before, or because they can see something that you cannot, or see it from a different perspective, so please be willing to hear what they are saying and take a moment to consider that they may know better, as hard as that may be to accept.
Your Aunt Kimberly already asked if she can be there when you are picking out your prom dress and planning for your wedding and having babies. She probably knows me more than anyone and she would be an amazing person to be there with you, by your side, loving you all the way.
I love you, Farrah Oakley. You are my pride and joy. You are the answer to all my prayers. You be you, baby.
