Dear Phenomenal Girl,

Respect is a becoming a lost art, beautiful girl. A girl who grows up to respect others will be a rare treasure of a woman and an example to everyone…and it’s a wonderful thing to begin when we are young.

To respect means to honor everyone’s place in the world…when we are young, it means to respect that parents and teachers have the job of teaching and caring for us….so we should respect what they have to say and what they are trying to do. It means to respect the rights of others…and the differences in others…to honor those rights and differences. To respect means to think about how our decisions and our words and our actions will affect those around us…and to always try to do what is best for everyone, not just for ourselves.

You are growing to be such a wonderful, amazing, respectful young woman. You are just terrific.
…..and you are so very loved.
xoxo
