Oh my little girl... you are strong. You are strong~willed, strong~minded, strong in your opinions, strong in your beliefs, strong in your passion and strong as in, you can kick some serious dupee when you are mad, physically~strong. I love this about you. You drive me absolutely nuts, because you are so much like me, when you act this way....but it will take you so far in life.
I hope you understand when mommy does try to teach you that, just because you are a girl, you don't need to learn how to do dishes and change diapers. That is not your role, if you don't want it to be. You can do anything.....absolutely anything you set your mind too. This is why I make you help with yard work, clear the table, fold clothes, repair bicycles and motorized toys and scooters. There is nothing, nothing at all, that says you have to do what may be thought of as "girl/mom things" and I would never want you to listen to anyone that may tell you that this is what you are here for. Your mommy takes a lot of pride in the fact that she can shine daddy's boots better than most men, dismantle a glock handgun and clean it pretty darn fast, change the tire on a car...the oil if I am absolutely desperate, fix leaky faucets and lift weights just like the boys do. I also take pride that I can put on a fancy dress and beautiful high heels to go on a "kissing date" with daddy. You my little angel, can do it all. There are no glass ceilings for you. Always remember.................
ALL YOUR LIFE YOU ARE TOLD THE THINGS YOU CANNOT DO. ALL YOUR LIFE THEY WILL SAY YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH OR STRONG ENOUGH OR TALENTED ENOUGH, THEY'LL SAY YOU'RE THE WRONG HEIGHT OR THE WRONG WEIGHT OR THE WRONG TYPE TO PLAY THIS OR BE THIS OR ACHIEVE THIS.

THEY WILL TELL YOU NO,
A THOUSAND TIMES NO UNTIL ALL THE NO'S BECOME MEANINGLESS. ALL YOUR LIFE THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, QUITE FIRMLY AND VERY QUICKLY. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO. AND
YOU WILL TELL THEM YES.
