A Letter From My Sister-in-Law

For My Unborn Niece



I dream of sweet things for you --of eternal sunshine and happiness and dream of the innocent, unmarred by anything even remotely touched of sorrow and hardships.

I dream of the person that you'll become--of beauty and integrity of character and the wisdom to change what can be changed for the better and the intelligence and maturity to accept things that cannot be.

I dream of your personality--winsomeness and charm of such abundance that thorns wilt and glaciers thaw. And humor to temper anger and humility to even out your dreams.

I dream of your dreaming--impossible ones with your parents behind you to support in you whatever you will decide. Be it to climb the highest mountain or dive into the deepest sea.

I dream for you great things--impossible things that can only be achieved by the Grace of God and your own self-determination. I yearn for you to be the best person that the world has ever seen.
