                I hope you love yourself
                so you can love life too.
                I hope you learn to laugh, 
                even in the darkness of your own thoughts. 
                Please don’t be afraid
                when you have a taste 
                of bittersweet vulnerability.
                I hope you walk confidently, 
                that your fears won’t outweigh 
                all the wonderful you can be.
                I hope you speak clearly 
                & your words are crafted from compassion
                (which your mom & dad are full of).
                I hope you grow up knowing 
                that your heartbeat
                is connected to a long chain of love, 
                years in the making.
                In the end I’d like to believe
                it’s all the love you’ve ever given or received,
                embracing & supporting you, 
                every moment of beauty permeating your soul,
                every feeling & memory, every affinity
                suspended into infinity. 
                If I’m not here for you physically, 
                my love always will be.

                love,
                auntie Laura
