My dearest child,

I just wanted to let you know that I love you with all of my heart and that I am so proud of everything you have accomplished and become. You are so beautiful, inside and out, and every time I look at your freckled face, I feel a wonderful warmth in my heart. The day that you were born was the happiest day of my life (followed closely by the day I taught you how to ride a bike!). You continue to amaze me every day, and I feel so lucky to have you in my life.

Even though you have made some mistakes, like when you ran the family car into our house, and have gone through some difficult times, you have come out of it all so much stronger. You are tender and sweet, and you care so deeply about others, even your brother who I know you have had troubles with. Never lose that side of you, it is what makes you so special (that and your Eiffel Tower shaped birthmark). You always try your best, and even though it does not always work out, I am proud of you for putting in the effort and trying. With your new job at Meta, I know you will do amazing, and I will always be by your side, cheering you on. During the highs and lows, I will love you and support you. I know that no matter what, you will always be true to yourself and find success in that which you are passionate about, just like you did with cartography.

This world is yours, my darling child. You are everything you need to be and more.

Love,
Papa
