Dear Baby Girl,

Tonight, as I was rocking you and calming you and trying to get you to sleep, I whispered in your ear. You had been crying. You’re having a rough time right now it seems – you’re teething, you’re growing, you’ve got a cold and it seems as though you’ve reached the separation anxiety stage that I thought we’d skipped.

Tonight, as I was rocking you and your tears were drying I whispered in your ear. I told you, Baby Girl, that we will always come back for you.

This is a message I want you to remember. No matter where you are, no matter what’s going on in the world, I will always do everything that is in my power to get to you. I will keep you safe.

We will always come back for you.
