An open letter to Katie

My dearest Kaitlyn,

There is something I want you to know, love. I do this all for you. With everything that I have, I do this so that one day you can have more, do more, and have every opportunity. I hope you know that I love you so much. Every minute of lost sleep, every tear, ache and drop of sweat is worth it for my precious baby girl.

I hope you know that I am always with you in spirit, and that I am fighting like hell to be there more in person. Your beautiful smile makes every day worth it to me, and it always will....

I love you,
Mom
