Dear Morgan

You are loved.

You came into our lives with big eyes and an open heart and we poured all the love into it we had been waiting to give you.

And you smiled.

You are part of our collective family that surrounds you with support, bear hugs and sloppy kisses.

You are loved.

One of my deepest desires in this life was to know you

To see you

To cuddle you and have you giggle

To see how you light up your parents' life

And how that light shines to the rest of us

The road before you may take you on twists and turns

It might take you to dark places and you may have wondered where your light has gone.

But it's there 

You might have to get down on your knees and blow on the coals for a while

Or flap a plate wildly

Or cheat a bit and use some paper to rekindle it

But it's always there inside of you. 

I held a candle for you today 

And I always will

So that you know you always have a safe place to come to

To help you know it's safe to spread your wings

That it's okay to try and fail and try again 

That you can question and wonder and dream.

But the truth is 

The light was inside you all along.

You are loved.

Peace and Love now and always,

Your very honoured Godmother, Auntie Amanda
