Letter to my Future Son in Law

So I decided to write a letter to my future son-in-law.  I know this is a bit odd, since my daughter is only 12, but I felt this strong desire to write a letter anyway to him anyway!

Curious, how much I should share with the world.  I hope nothing happens to me in which I can't hand deliver, but for now I choose to keep the whole letter private.  

Nevertheless, here are a few things my letter holds. 

My letter begins with ... 

Dear boy who will be the most important person in my daughter’s life, 

In my letter I share with him personally who my daughter is (as of today April 25, 2014)  I also share insider knowledge on what what he needs to know most on how to love my daughter.  I know her more than she knows herself most days and I specifically know what it means to be a wife and a child of God.

I go on to give him 10 key wisdom points. I tell him he must have or do to having a successful relationship with my daughter.   

I instill upon him all the things I wish someone would have instill upon us on our nuptials.  I am honest that my daughter isn't perfect and marriage isn't always easy.  

Somehow... writing this letter helped me come to the realization that my beautiful girl will someday be a beautiful wife.  And it's never to soon to start praying for a beautiful marriage for that sweet little feisty redhead of mine.  

I end the 7 page letter with this...

I love you already – and always,

Mom
