I know you've just turned 1 but it's never too early to be giving you some good advice on boys.
I've met a lot of people who have been so hurt by their past romantic relationships and I do not want you to experience that same kind of pain; it can be scarring. One of the most important lessons I want you to learn is that you are valuable, beautiful, and worthy of love no matter what any other person may tell you. As you grow into more and more of the person God created you to be, I pray that you have this God-given self-confidence; proud of the person you are and the abilities you have. Comparison is the thief of joy. Don't compare yourself to anyone else.
Don't waste your time thinking about "so and so has a boyfriend, why don't I?"
Don't kiss a bunch of frogs hoping that they'll turn into Prince Charming. Only kiss your prince...he's the only one who deserves your affections.
Don't settle. You deserve the best and someone who brings the best out of you.
These are the characteristics I appreciate about your daddy:
Integrity
Loving
Kind
Generous
Intelligent
Funny
Thinks outside of the box
Hard worker
Patient
Compassionate
Gentle -- especially to you
Fun -- he loves to goof around with you and play
Wise
Financially responsible
Handsome :)
Godly
These are just some of the things I love about your daddy and I hope and pray that he is a good model to you of what a loving man is. Yes, a good man is sometimes hard to find...but well worth the wait. Be encouraged; we are praying for your husband to be a God-loving/Livy-loving man even now. Be patient, my daughter. The wait seems long but is nothing in comparison to the joy you will experience once you realize what a gift God gives you in the right time.
I love you my darling daughter. I love this picture of the gentleness of your daddy cradling you when you were a newborn.
"Don't compare your love story to those you watch in the movies. Those are written by scriptwriters. Yours is written by GOD."
Love, momma
