Letters to HIM

twenty-two | mother tongue

Dear future husband,

I hope you speak my mother tongue, the same language which flows from my parents and grandparents' mouth like the smoothest of silks. Its all they have from their home, and I'd like my future husband to be able to speak the same poetry that is my mother tongue. I want our children to know it and continue to cherish it like I've done. I don't want what I have of my home to be lost. I don't want to be lost, for my mother tongue symbolizes my identity.

Love,
You culture-enriched wife
