After many years and begging and pleading with the superior beings – my amazing daughter and her equally amazing partner have announced that they are expecting a “Tiny Human” in September of this year.
I have such a joy in my heart rivalled only by how I felt when I found out I was expecting Tiny Humans and then the arrivals of said Tiny Humans.
Now that my daughter has gone public with the announcement (finally cause keeping the secret was killing me) I would like to write a letter/post to this Tiny Human in preparation for – uhhhh – “It’s”?? “Their” – arrival – whatever…
Dear Tiny Human growing inside my daughter…
How’s it going in there?
I did get the pleasure of seeing you on camera at your Mum’s last ultrasound.
You sure have a lot of growing to do it’s a good thing she has made a safe and comfy place to do so.
Oh FYI – your Mum works out lot so there could be some bouncing around and stuff but that’s ok -a fit Mum is a happy Mum!!! Promise though – she will feed you some junk food!
Now- first of all – a lot of stuff is going to happen before you actually arrive in September – oh and if you would not mind – your due date is September 21st – do you think you could hold off until September 27th – that is my birthday – Thanks in advance. Just keep growing and swimming around in there.
Just as an FYI Tiny Human – your arrival and life will NOT be dull.
Both families are large and loud and crazy!!!! (no offence to anyone)
You will be surely spoiled by myself – Oh you will be calling me GG – I’ll explain when you can actually like understand – Hubs will be Oompah and you also have your Uncle Curtis – that is if that is what he wishes to be referred to – that will be up to him.
Your Uncle Curtis – he is the BEST!!! He will teach you all about style and substance and to not take things too seriously. He will be your fierce protector – I can promise you that!!!
Within all these crazy large and loud families – there will be a knowledge base from every walk of the earth for you to learn. Your education will consist of – well – farming and chickens and horses of course – but of the law – the medical profession – the down and dirty of mechanics – to the math and the sciences and the general all “aroundness” that is this world – and endlessness of everything!!!
You will be loved – so loved -you will have cousins and aunts and uncles both of blood and not – you will be well fed – always well fed and you will learn and grow in this amazing collective of people.
The world that you are coming into is far from perfect – but amidst all this – this collective of people that will surround you will protect you and educate you and nourished you – both physically and emotionally they will always be there.
Your parents are so excited to welcome you – I’ll tell you the story of “them” when the timing is right – it is the stuff of epic novels or in the very least a Lifetime Channel (no copyrite infringement) movie of the week
There are some people that are missing that would have loved to have greeted you and that again will be a story for later.
Dear Tiny Human – we love you and can’t wait for your arrival.
