Birthday letter for your daughter

Dear Sam,

I have been told that a birthday letter should be meaningful, so here goes. I am not a poet, but I know exactly what I want to say.

You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I knew it the second I held you, and I have known it every day since: on the soccer field when you scored your first goal and looked straight at me, at your graduation when you hugged me so hard my glasses fell off, and on the ordinary nights when you sat with me on the porch and told me about your day.

I hope you know that you never have to earn my love or my pride. You have both, forever, with no conditions. When life gets loud, and it will, remember that your dad thinks you are extraordinary just as you are.

The letter

Dear {firstname},

I have been told that a birthday letter should be meaningful, so here goes. I am not a poet, but I know exactly what I want to say.

You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I knew it the second I held you, and I have known it every day since: on the soccer field when you scored your first goal and looked straight at me, at your graduation when you hugged me so hard my glasses fell off, and on the ordinary nights when you sat with me on the porch and told me about your day.

I hope you know that you never have to earn my love or my pride. You have both, forever, with no conditions. When life gets loud, and it will, remember that your dad thinks you are extraordinary just as you are.

Have a wonderful birthday, sweetheart. Eat something delicious, laugh until your sides hurt and call me later so I can hear all about it.

Always in your corner,

Make it personal

  1. 1

    Match the stage she is in. Glitter and giggles for a little girl, short and not cringey for a teen, warm and grown-up for an adult daughter.

  2. 2

    Praise who she is, not only what she does. Her kindness, her courage, the way she sticks up for people. Those words stay with her longer than “well done”.

  3. 3

    Add a memory only you have. The kitchen dance parties, the bangs she cut herself, the first time she drove alone. One detail makes it yours.
