To Lily,
I know you can't read this yet, but when you can, you'll know how much you mean to me. Right now, you're just a baby, but you're already doing wonderful things.
You will grow up different than your siblings. You have nine sisters and a brother whom you can look up to. You're already used to living in a big family, and that is something that the others didn't get at first.
I often wonder how you'll be. Each one of you are so different, and have something that really gets you going. You could be into fashion like Leni, or you can be into music like Luna. You may get into something completely different, I don't know yet.
What I do know is that you'll do amazing things just like your siblings. I hope you never feel pressured to be like your older siblings. Your father and I, we try to hold you all to the same standards. If you don't meet them though, then that's fine. We understand that each of you have your own wants and needs, and we expected that.
I just hope you know how much we love you, and I hope you never feel left out. Being the youngest can be hard, especially when there are ten other kids.
You're actually laying next to me as I write this. It's almost your nap time, and you're a bit cranky. You love laying with your siblings, as well as me.
You'll bloom into something wonderful, my little Lily. Always be yourself.
Love you always,
Mom
