A mother’s love is unconditional: There are quiet snuggles,
off-key sing-alongs, un-controllable belly laughs, and daily
miracles that only a parent can understand. Heather
Armstrong first wrote to her daughter when Leta was just
eight weeks old. For the next five years, Heather wrote a
letter every month, capturing the ups and downs of
motherhood and chronicling the milestones and surprises of
their lives together. These are letters that we wish we had
written for our own children: disarmingly honest,
self-deprecating, heartwarming, and irreverently funny. From the first time Leta holds a rattle; to her first steps;
to her first curse word; to her excitement over becoming a
big sister, Dear Daughter is a heart-felt and
hilarious ode to the wonders of parent-hood that will have
mothers everywhere nodding, laughing, and wiping away tears. *** Dear Leta, You have changed so much since that first morning you spent
with us, a morning that altered my life so drastically that
sometimes it still feels like I’m catching my breath. I
imagine that I won’t ever stop feeling this way, won’t ever
stop having a portion of my brain dedicated to the thought
of where you are and what you’re doing, won’t ever be able
to escape the constant, nagging hope that you are happy and
fulfilled. My pulse is forever close to the surface because
of you, because of my responsibility toward you, and I can’t
thank you enough for the dimension that this has added to
what it means to be alive. Love, Mama
