A letter from the future you,


You did what you did which was your own thing, a rebel in your own right.
You are enough and I love you no matter what good or bad, right or wrong.
You still have a knack for growth with your hands in the garden, a beautifully green thumb.
You can still cook a great meal in and outdoors.
You need to know that your miscarriage was not your fault.
You need to know that your baby is smiling down at you from heaven.

You need to know that your ancestors made a plan for you. You need to know that you will make it through and come out on top.

You need to know that your ancestors made a plan for you.
You need to know that you will make it through and come out on top.
You need to know that I am a friend to you and that you can have friends too.
You need to know you can be whoever you choose to be.
