To My Unborn Child,

Yesterday, #ToMyUnbornChild seemed to be trending to Twitter I guess? It got me thinking, and what I wanted to say couldn't be limited to 140 words. So here I am! Hopefully, this will be a reminder of the kind of 'mummy' I want to be next time :)

To My Unborn Child:

My dear,
  • I love you, I will always love you.
  • You are beautiful, no matter what people say. God made you the way you are, He meticulously designed every inch of you. You are His masterpiece, and oh my dear, you are so beautiful.
  • Be kind.
  • Remember to always put God first in your life. Just as He puts you first in His.
  • God is always there for you, always. 
  • I'm proud of you for who you are, not what you achieve.
  • You may not know it now, but the world is an unkind place. Do not let that make you hard.
  • I understand that you have your own opinions, and I promise not to drown that voice of yours. Speak out, my dear, you'll be heard.
  • I will be your best friend. You can tell me everything and anything, I promise. I'll be your listener. 
  • I know you want freedom, but don't ever tell me, 'Mummy, you can't protect me forever.' I'll tell you what your grandma told me. 'I can't protect you forever, but I'll protect you while I can.' 
  • Things will get better, they always do.
  • If I make a mistake, I WILL apologize. That's a promise.
  • I'll remember what it was like, being a teenager. You'll get the privacy and the freedom you deserve.
  • You WILL sit with me and listen to me go on and on and on about my high school days whenever I want you to. Or else.
  • No my dear, you can't share my ice cream. I'll get you one for yourself. xD 
Love,
Mummy.

    Okay, maybe not the last one. Heh :D
    And yeah, there you go - That's the kind of 'mummy' I want to be.

    Ps. My dear, you are going to see this one day. And you will so proud of me :')
