It's 5 days after your Mom's birthday and I wanted to let you know that I love you. I don't know when you will get this "package" of letters but I'm guessing it will be about your 18th birthday. I don't know if I will see you grow up or not so I want to tell you everything I can now.
On January 18, 2022 your grandparents and I found out your mom was pregnant. To be honest I didn't know what to think. You mom has always been a bit of a flake and I had never met your dad. It was a lot to take in and I didn't know how your life would turn out. It was really hard for me to believe that your mom would be a good mom and do what was right for you. But your dad went to jail and your mom was alone. She started to get her life together and by your cousin's 11 birthday I started to believe that it was going to be okay. That you would be okay.
Your mom and grandmother decided to use Winnie the Pooh for your nursery so for the gender reveal party we did the same. I made a Beehive cake and many Winnie the pooh games like How Many Bees In The Beehive, Pin The Tail On Eeyore, and Throw The Bees In The Beehive. It was a really good party. Your Uncle Michael even won Throw The Bees In The Beehive. On March 26, 2022 everyone found out you were a girl. Well your Grandmother and I found out a bit sooner since we were helping do the party and the cake.

I suppose I should make a note in here about your nickname. Your grandmother was going to call you piglet but Piglet was my nickname and I don't share very well. So you became "Roo" and your mom "Kanga".
Your baby shower is planned for August 14, 2022
I don't really know what to do. I am so happy you are coming into this world but I know I won't be there for a lot of your life. I want you to know just how much I love you and that I will always come when you call. You are going to be an amazing person with or without me there.
