Dear Child of My Heart,
I have met a lot of people during my years and none of them is quite like you. From the moment I met you until today, you have proven to me just how “one of a kind” you are.
It’s not just what color eyes you have or how tall you are or whether or not you have a dimple in the middle of your chin. It’s the parts of you that no one else can ever touch: your “style,” how you love to spend your time, your quirky habits (I’m laughing as I think of them), your laugh, what you don’t like, and what makes your heart come alive.
I am so glad that you are NOT like anyone else I have ever known. I have learned and enjoyed so much getting to know you. What a treat for me! I never want you to think you have to be like anyone other than YOU. You are the only one who can give your true self to the world, and it will be more than enough.
“Be yourself. Everyone is already taken.” (Oscar Wilde)
I know I’m one of your biggest fans, but remember God also cheers for you in your uniqueness. He has made you completely “one of a kind.” He loves that there’s only ONE of you!
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
How amazing that there are people who are going to get to know just a little bit of the gift that only YOU are.
From my heart to yours.
The Dolly Mama 
So good! What a lovely reminder. Thank you Esther. Needed to hear that today! Also a wonderful reminder about my children, and the best way to love them is to appreciate their uniqueness! Even the hard places.

I even think about this if I wrote a letter to myself.
