A mother’s letter to her daughter:
Dear xxx:
I know last year has been hard for you. You haven’t been appreciated for your generous spirit. Instead, people criticized your style and your looks. You don’t have the perfect look that others seem to have pizazz in. But you are stronger than them and you can handle more.
You are smarter. You can fix things. You can fix people by comforting them. You don’t buckle under pressure. You have a strong spirit and you use humor to combat problems.
When people are cruel, you don’t fight back with the same bad spirit that they do. You try to help them improve.
In the future when they are washed up and divorced, you will shine bright. You know who is really your friend and what loyalty is. You will be known as someone that can follow through with commitments, is grateful, and loyal to good people.
You will be loved for who you are, not how you look which can degrade with time. People will see the inner beauty that is you.
When they drew Rosie the Riveter, they were thinking of you.
Just keep going, because other girls may be pretty, but you are strong.
