My Precious Mila,
May 30, 2023

As I sit down to write these heartfelt words, I find that language seems to fail the depth of my emotions. The joy of holding you in my arms for the very first time was a feeling that words can barely express, a love so new and so overwhelming that it eclipses all I've ever known.

Your arrival has painted my world in hues brighter than I could have ever imagined, and every tiny aspect of you fills me with an enormous sense of love. From your delicate little fingers that wrap around mine to your soft coos that melt my heart, you, my darling, are the embodiment of pure and innocent beauty.

Looking at your face and observing the traces of myself and your mom, I am filled with awe. We have been given the most precious gift, and that is you. Every little milestone of yours – your first smile, your first word, your first step – is something I eagerly anticipate. I can’t wait to see the world through your eyes, to rediscover its wonder and joy alongside you.

My dear, I promise to be there for you every step of the way as you blossom into a beautiful woman. I will be your guide, your supporter, and your most avid cheerleader. I will teach you, learn from you, and grow with you. And though I may not have all the answers, I promise to help you navigate through life’s queries with all the wisdom I can muster.

As your father, my love for you is unconditional and boundless. I will always strive to provide a world for you where you feel loved, cherished, and empowered to chase your dreams.

In your eyes, I see a future filled with promise and potential. I cannot wait to share in the joy of your triumphs, to comfort you in times of disappointment, and to witness the incredible person you will become.

I want you to know that being your dad has already been the greatest privilege of my life. And as I write this letter, with you cradled lovingly in my arms, I can't help but look forward to the extraordinary journey we have ahead of us.

With all the love in the world,

Your Papa
