Dear Olivia,
As I opened my eyes this morning, I realized that you will be starting a new school year at a new school today. As we rode the elevator down I thought of so many things I wanted to say to you. They are what I've already covered in the many conversations we've had, but as a mom I can't help but feel the urge to repeat them in case you didn't hear me for the first time.
Floor 4: I know what it's like to be a new kid. I understand the butterflies in your stomach, but do believe in yourself. Try to make more friends.
Floor 3: Try not to look so nervous. Sometimes the simple act of smiling can be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. I believe a smile is worth at least that much.
Floor 2: If at any moment today you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, just breathe. You'll be amazed how a couple of deep breaths can help you see things in a whole new light.
Floor 1: I wanted to tell you how my heart is torn between wanting to keep you at home with me all day, where I can love you and protect you, and wanting you to go out there and have experiences I can't provide for you. Don't grow up too fast, OK?
Ground: As we exited the building for our short walk to school, I took each of your hands in mine and said, “Just be yourself, and remember how much I love you. I'll be waiting to hear all about your experiences this afternoon.”
I realized that's really all you need to hear.
Love,
Mom
