Vows to My Little Girl for Mother's Day

I am the vessel through which she came.

I will be one of the biggest influences in her life however she does not belong to me.

She is a unique, beautiful soul who belongs only to this world, only to herself.

To the best of my ability, I will guide her with a mix of logic, emotion, compassion and intuition.

I won't get it right every time but I promise to do my very best.  And only when I am too lazy or selfish to do my very best, will I consider myself a failure.

I will learn from her and with her.  I will help her.  I will love her.
