Don't ever feel like you must do something the way I did it. I want you to do life the same or different than mine, but better. When you are all grown up and you live outside these walls, really think about your decisions, about what you do and why. Don't do something just because it's the way we've always done it around here.
Mommy and Daddy do their best. We love you and do all we know to teach you, to cuddle you, to discipline you, to provide for you. And hopefully there will be a few things worth carrying into your own homes one day. But you will likely know more than we.
If you marry, you'll be convinced that your husband knows more too--he probably will (although your daddy may not be ready to concede that just yet, you understand). So the two of you, figure it out. Together. I may not always understand. I may not always agree. But I will always love you, and your life will be all the better if you are free from mirroring it after anyone else.
So, if all the figuring out leads you down an altogether different path, know that your momma wants you to follow the beautiful hearts that God has given you, to pursue His will passionately, and to come home for Christmas.
Hugs and kisses, babies of mine.
