Dear Laquetta,
I wish I could go back and hug you. š„¹ā¤ļø I wish I could tell you that every tear, every disappointment, every moment you felt overlooked or not enough⦠would one day become part of the story that made you strong.
You had no idea how much you would overcome. You had no idea how many times you would have to pick yourself back up. But look at you⦠youāre still here. Still loving. Still laughing. Still dreaming. Still becoming the woman you were always meant to be.
Iām so proud of you, little girl. You didnāt deserve everything you went through, but you deserved every beautiful thing that came after it.
Keep your heart soft. Keep your faith strong. And whatever you do⦠never forget who you are.
I love you, little me. And I promise⦠Iāll keep making you proud. š
