Ellie,
Iβm going to share a secret with you, Iβm not a big fan of kids and I hate babies. And yetβ¦ Iβm staring at you and Iβm just awestruck. Youβre not even a day old and holding you is the most incredible thing Iβve done in my life - a life that is about to get cut a little short.
Marlene will look after you. Thereβs no one in this world I trust more than her. When the time comes sheβll tell you all about me. Donβt give her too much of a hard time. Try not to be as stubborn as me.
Iβm not going to lie, this is a pretty messed up world. It wonβt be easy. The thing you always have to remember is that life is worth living! Find your purpose and fight for it.Β I see so much strength in you. I know youβll turn out to be the woman youβre meant to be.
Forever⦠your loving mother,
Anna
Make me proud, Ellie!
