4) Daisy, I want you to know from a very young age that heaven is not just a place in the mind, but a real, living, tangible place. It's nowhere here on earth, but it is a place you can visit. One day, I hope your father and I will get the immense pleasure of showing you what heaven looks like. As a child, your mind is the most open and I hope the openness of your mind continues throughout all your life.
5) Protect your heart, dear daughter, from the troubles of this world. The world will not watch out for you, you must watch it. Watch that you become nothing like it. Instead, make the world like you.
6) While the world won't have your back, know that your father and I will always have your back. There will be decisions you will make that we won't like but we will always be there for you. Whatever the problem, the trouble, the issue, the happiness, the sadness, the tears, the laughter, we're here for you any time, day or night. Though I must tell you, if you're crying, your father won't know what to do with you so you may want to talk to me first. He loves you honey and it will break his heart to see you cry. It'll break mine too but your father never did know what to do with crying people.
7) The barbed wire that's going to be around your play yard...you can thank Henry for that. Since he discovered he could escape, he decided that he could break into your play yard. After weighing the cons of having barbed wire on the top of your play yard fence, we decided that the pros of not having a giant mule run over our precious daughter outweighed those. By the time you're tall enough to reach said barbed wire, you'll also be smart enough to know not to touch it. Or swing from it. Or generally look in its direction.
