My dear little Aryel

In just a few minutes, you’ll make your debut into this world. Your parents have done me the immense honor of naming me your godmother and letting me closely follow their pregnancy—yours, the first little flower of your little family.

First and foremost, know that you have exceptional parents. Your dad—funny, sensitive, and deeply in love with you—and your mom—a strong, loving, confident, and truly one-of-a-kind woman. It’s been about 30 hours since you decided on this imminent arrival, and your mom is doing an incredible job, accompanied by your dad, who is supporting her so well! And here I am, sitting at the back of this room for about 27 hours now, keeping a bit to myself so your parents can enjoy this moment. Surely the most beautiful moment of their lives!!

I wanted to tell you that even though your parents will undoubtedly be absolutely amazing parents, I, your godmother Peppy, will always be there for you. I hope to be the arms that comfort you when Mom and Dad are exhausted, a source of laughter, a cool babysitter, a listening ear, a confidante, and someone you can trust! You haven’t even shown your face yet, and I’m already head over heels in love with you. I already know that the crybaby that I am will burst into tears when I see you.

The love I have for your mom is immense—far beyond the love of a sister. One day you’ll understand that your mom is like a daughter, a best friend, and a confidante to me. This world, little sweetheart, isn’t always all sunshine and roses, but I promise you one thing: I’ll always be there for you and your parents, no matter what time of day or night! You’re a long-awaited little gem—I love you, my sweetheart. I can’t wait to see you, to hold you in my arms, to watch you grow, learn, dream, and blossom.

I love you sincerely and with all my heart, my little flower
