Tallulah… you are so remarkable to me. You have restored – without knowing it – all my faith in strong female energy. I want to learn from you and revel in your beauty. You are not just female, you are other. And from listing all of my anxieties above (there are many and I promise to always work on myself), I’m at my most calm and able around you. You are powerful.

In many ways, I’m excited by the world today. There is huge change emerging; opportunity where there hasn’t been. Children are becoming increasingly political and want to be heard. I believe you will know respectful relationships, and how to bow out of them if the time comes. I believe you will understand the importance of putting yourself first. I believe in you little girl. And I am blessed to have you.

Love,
Mummy
