A Letter to my Daughter

Iness, happy birthday! You were born on 04/18/2018 at 8:00 AM. I can’t believe you are 4 years old today! I am sorry that you had to spend half of your life wearing a mask in public. Cold-hearted people made our life difficult, and they blamed it on nature. If it was up to me, I will change the world into a fairy tale, just for you. A wonderful world full of flowers, hearts, unicorns, mermaids, and all the things that you love.
My little daughter, my kitten, perhaps you will not understand these words now. You imitate me in everything when you see me pray to God with love you pray like me, in all the tasks I do you want to do just like me even when I read a book you refuse to read your little story and insist on reading the book that I read, and when I dance, you also imitate my movements as if you were my shadow. We both love Frank Sinatra’s song “I love you baby”, and we sing along and dance. We stop, laugh, and restart the song again, and again, and again…
My princess, you are the finest story that I breathe from its letters, I enjoy its presence and I cannot separate from it, you are something that I could not explain with all my heartbeats. I love you, my little girl.
My daughter, I will teach you everything I have learned, and tell you about all my convictions, and I will also tell you about the convictions of others, and I will let you choose and search alone for the truth. Another thing from me is that you are a free human being and you are not a monopoly on me. You are my daughter, but I do not own you.
My daughter, I will teach you ambition, passion, love of learning, reading, questioning, thinking, and positive thinking, these are some of the keys that I will give you.

My little girl never stops thinking, and make your pen your companion and your intelligence your light in life. Do you know that you are the soul of the ones who lost their soul and their breath began to rise in search of what brings them back to life? My little daughter, life is a big forest, so beware of its monsters, not everyone will offer you pure honey, there are also cruel human beings.

My little daughter, love, and forgive. Always forgive twice, but never thrice.
Don’t get married just because you want to get married. Communication is the key to a successful relationship. Think wisely before you say “I do”
Life thought your mom lessons if I am dead by the time you turn 18, come and visit my grave, and if I am still alive, you know where to find me, I will be somewhere around the world volunteering, teaching kids I hope. I love you and I love your brother, my other soul Ibrahim so much!
