Wednesday Letters: Future Daughters

Dearest future daughters:

You are welcome to play dress up. I'll help you transform a blanket into a ball gown. And we'll deck out with necklaces and crowns and say we're princesses.

At night, I'll tell you fairy tales. The stories about your great-grandparents, and your grandparents, and maybe some of your aunts and uncles. And I'll tell you my fairy tale story. 

And as you get older, I'll tell you the other stories. The stories of heartbreak and the stories of humor. 

And I'll remind you that your fairy tale will happen too. Because I've held onto that belief for a long time. It will happen to you.

Love,
Emery
