Birthday letter for your daughter

Dear Sam,

Happy birthday. I know you are at the age where a letter from a parent might make you cringe, so thank you for reading this far.

I want to tell you some things I wish someone had told me at your age. You do not have to have everything figured out. Your worth is not measured in likes, grades or how many people invite you to things. The friends who matter will love you on your quiet days as much as your loud ones. And it is always okay to change your mind.

I also want you to know what I see when I look at you. I see someone funny and fierce. I see a girl who sticks up for her friends, who works hard even when she pretends not to care and who has a heart bigger than she lets most people see.

Love you more than you know,

Make it personal

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
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
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.
