Daughter of my heart

This is an email I wrote to my kid (the oldest one) today, well, part of it anyway. Here's that part:

Btw, when you hold your infant for the first time, all the things I speak of about how much you love your children will become clear to you. You may love that little one who you are feeling the movements of inside you right now, but once you hold him or her in your arms, everything changes. You fall in love in a way you never have before. You will never know another love like the love you feel for your children.  Once you hold that gift in your arms you will know why I will love you forever.  If you ever doubted my love for you, you never will again. You will understand everything a parent feels and know that nothing can ever make that love die.  I will love you and worry about you forever, because you are my child. I gave my heart to you long ago when you were just a little girl and I will and cannot ever take it back. 

Daughter of my heart, daughter of my soul, my first born child, I love you beyond time and space, beyond all measure.

I love you and hope all is well. Give Clay my love, he is a good man and I am grateful to the universe he is who you chose to be your companion, partner, friend, lover and husband.  You and he are both very fortunate.
