A Letter for Tee

Hey Tee,

First let me start by saying you are the definition of beauty and all it embodies. I mean when you love you love hard and no one in your circle ever has to question your motives. Your seventeen years old now. Look at you finishing high school and celebrating with your peers. All you want out of life is a job, money, and plenty of shoes. Well I can confirm you did end up with the shoes lol.Just know that life has offered you more than that. You grow up and you find what you have fought against your whole life love. When you meet this man you will give him hell.

Why you wonder because you don’t believe a word he says. You have good reason to say bullshit! I know it’s because of your dad and your mom. I know dad was not the knight in shinning armor for you nor for mom. Your dad I know he didn’t care for you the way he should have. He wasn’t there to give you the blueprint of what a good man is supposed to be due to this action you now struggle with being worthy. The pain won’t last always in time you will realize that God made you with love despite your parents intentions. You are here for a reason to share your story.

Now I am not going to lie to you and say it will all be smooth sailing but you will find your way. All your life you did everything your mother wanted you to do and more. I know you feel unappreciated when she yells and then you send yourself through a wild comparison with your other friends parents. You should work on the way you express yourself but what can I say you are still a child you will have time to mature and communicate much better. Your mother is an important figure in your life. You do everything not to let her down because she is all you have left. In your life she is the proof that you were wanted by one of your parents. I know you couldn’t bear being thrown away by her. Mentally the thought destroys you.

So you go on the quest to be the perfect daughter but you just couldn’t win in your mother’s dating world. I know it was hard feeling abandonment for those you called strangers. You don’t have to be afraid anymore about being left behind.I know you are feeling extreme angry by reading that but you don’t have to be angry anymore the lord hears your cries Tee and he knows your heart so no need to be upset any longer it will be alright. You don’t have to feel like you were anyone’s burden or even think maybe if I wasn’t born then maybe my parents could have been better. You can’t feel that way anymore because you have friends and family who you mean so much to. You don’t have to try to be better because you are the best. Tee be more proud of who you are becoming and the things you will do.

Just like it’s their lives, this life is yours. You can make life a happy one or a sad one. Just know overtime you chose to be happy. You find help in your issues of self-worth, abandonment, and companionship. Guess what? It gets better, you get to do it with a partner who sees you for who you are flaws and all. He will be your best friend for life. You feel a huge connection with him. God gave you him as a gift. He brought him to show you selfless love, compassion, and most importantly the beauty of unity. Can you believe you are getting married and considering children? I know you laugh at these statements maybe even roll your eyes but it is true. You are actually excited. You are so pleased with your growth as a woman believe me.

Well Tee I want to leave you with this sweetheart you are apart of a divine plan and it has been carefully orchestrated for success. You will remain spiritual and keep God first. The first half of your life may have seemed depressing but I promise you it will get better from here I made sure of it. I love you more than you know!
