Letter To Little Me From Grown Up Me
Dear Grown Up Me,
do we still have monsters in the closet?
Are there wiggle worms under the bed
waiting to grab us?
How old are we now?
Will I be pretty when I grow up?
Will I feel pretty?
I am scared because no one saves me
Every night there are creatures floating in and out
I see them but my parents cannot
When we get older will I outgrow this?
Sincerely, little Me
Dear Little Me,
You will grow up to be empathetic and caring.
This means you will be kind to everyone.
You are pretty now.
You just don’t know it yet.
You need to look in the mirror and see yourself pretty.
Look at those gorgeous eyes! They are beautiful!
Your curly hair is great!
We will always see ghosts, but we will call them spirits later.
I cannot wait until you get here, and you will.
Sincerely, Grown Up Me
