To my future daughter,

Hey mommy’s little angel. I’m writing this to u because time is never guaranteed and if you ever need to remember anything about mommy here it is. You know I was bilked out of my education but I’ve forced myself. Baby don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do or be anything that you want because nothings impossible. Thanks to Thomas Edison making the light bulb I have more time on my hands I don’t have to do my reading and everything while it’s daytime. All I have to do is just turn on my fancy little electric lamp and read and learn whenever I feel.

Me carrying you around in my stomach all day long is really not easy. Luckily Henry Waterman in 1850 made the first electric elevator. So now I don’t have to worry about climbing all of those stairs anymore and it also takes less time getting to my destination because I’m not taking any breaks and huffing and puffing.

I can’t wait til' you get here. We’re going to have so much fun. They have movies that we can go see now. We can do so much more with our time now. Sitting in the house will not be an option for us. I want to give you the world and I want you to experience all of these new inventions and fancy gadgets they just keep coming up with. Hey who knows maybe you’ll make one yourself. You can be mommy’s little Einstein.

I want you to see all of the beautiful new buildings they’re making now. They are absolutely gorgeous. They’re enormous and the tallest things I’ve ever seen. The name even describes how big they are, they’re called skyscrapers and without those elevators baby it would be nonsense trying to get around those great big buildings. But thanks to Henry Waterman me and you will be just fine.

So now you see all of the new changes that are going on around me. Just imagine how life would be when you become my age and have your own children. Life has become so much easier for me and I just hope it keeps going that way. I can’t wait to see you and experience these life changing moments with you.

Love,

Mommy
