Dear Big Sister,
Congrats on being a big sister! Your big sis brags about
being a ‘big sister’ so much that I figured that you’d already be flaunting your
status in heaven. While I’m not the type to encourage you to brag, I have to
admit that I am pumped about you being big sister.
You are going to have a little brother, much sooner rather
than later. In fact, you already have a little brother; he’s just uncomfortably
stuck in your mother’s stomach at the moment. I wasn’t sure that I was capable
of producing boys, and yet here your brother awaits his big arrival!
Of course, the doctors are taking especially special care of
your momma as she waits for your brother to arrive. I’m not sure if the extra
special care would have made a difference for you.
I was playing with your big sis today and I saw a young girl
who was about your age. She was so adorable, animated, and difficult to watch. I
wish that I had been playing with both of you together! As your brother’s
birthday nears, I am struck by how much I wish that your birthday was a day of
joy.
But, I know that you feel nothing but joy as you watch me
fumble about my day-in and day-out. I’ll be there with you, one day! In the
meantime, please look after us, and put in a good word with the big man
upstairs.
I love you so much, big sister!
Love,
Dad
