Dear future Children,
I have longed for you as long as I can remember. There is nothing in this world that I would not have done to be able to hold you in my arms and look at you in love and awe. I worked hard to get you here, spent many nights laying in bed dreaming of what life would be once you arrived, I prayed to God for you so often, it became a mantra,. In order to bring you into this world, mommy had to fight very hard to have what most mothers have almost without trying at all, But I did it, and it was so worth it to know that I have the life and the love of someone so important and innocent.

Now you need to make important decisions, first of all, whom you would like to be in this life. You must choose what your values will be.
The life period you are living in now is sketch of your whole future. You must understand yourself and people around you - and find harmony. There are many people who can help you and first of all it's me, your mother. I love you more than you imagine, wherever you will ever be, know that I am always with you, in happy or difficult time. I do not want to interfere with your choice. Your happiness is the main thing for me. Your joy is my joy, your trouble is my trouble. The only wish I have to you is to find your own way in this life and not to regret about your choice.
And now, as I sit here and think of what
