Something I want my daughter to know, WHEN YOU ARE OLDER... Its 2025 now I don’t know when the future you will read but I hope you do.

If you ever come across this, I hope you read it with a gentle heart.

There were moments in my life when I questioned myself wondering if I was a good mother

I didn’t always give you my presence.
But you had my love, every single day, even from a distance.
My absence didn’t mean I don’t love you, it because I was trying to find the better life I dreamed of giving you
It was never because I didn’t want to be with you.
It was because I was trying to survive, to build something I hoped would one day protect you.

I moved, I hustled, I struggled, and sometimes I felt like I was failing.
But every step I took, every sacrifice I made, was because of you.

If I ever fell short, please know it was never from lack of love.
I loved you even when I didn’t have it all figured out.
I became your mother while I was still becoming myself.
Some days I felt strong. Other days I was breaking down.
But one thing am sure about 🤌my love for you is unconditional and eternal

I may not have given you the world the way I wished to,,
But every step I took even the painful ones carried you in my mind.And if I didn’t give you the world, I hope I taught you how to build your own stronger, kinder, and braver than me.

If you ever wondered where I was , please know I was always thinking of you.
Always hoping that one day you would understand the choices I made, even the imperfect ones.

I was learning how to be your mother, while learning how to survive.
And I hope that counts for something.

Hello, my daughter. ❤️

Today is October 8th, 2026, and I’m feeling a little stressed and disappointed in myself. I keep thinking about how you’re still growing up in the same kind of poor life I grew up in, and somehow, it feels unfair to you. It hurts, and I’m sorry.

But there’s a little comfort in knowing that you don’t understand any of this yet. So I’m saving these words for you, so that one day, when you’re old enough to understand, you’ll know how I was feeling and how hard I was trying to build a better life for you.

I loved you before I ever had you, I love you now, and I will love you forever. ❤️ by @dijah_303

It’s been six whole years of being your mom, and that has changed me in so many ways. You helped me become a better version of myself. You made me understand what unconditional love truly feels like.

I thought I knew love before you, but loving you became something completely different from any love I had ever known.

You are like my breath, my heart, my whole world. I love you more than I could ever love myself. Nakupenda mwanangu, nakupenda mno… maneno hayatoshi kuelezea.

Happy 6th birthday, my baby 🤍

And I’m sorry I haven’t given you everything yet, but I’m sure you don’t even notice that, because your love is always pure and enough. I promise I will do everything I can to make your future easier and brighter. One day you’ll understand how hard mommy tried for you.

Just hang in there, roho yangu.
Your mom loves you endlessly 🫶🏽 by @dijah_303

Happy 6th birthday to the girl who gave my life a whole new meaning 🤍

Before you, I thought I understood love. Then I became your mom, and suddenly love became deeper, softer, scarier, and stronger all at once.

I was still growing while raising you too. I was only eighteen when I dreamed of becoming a mother, and honestly, I didn’t fully understand life yet or how hard things would become sometimes. But despite everything, having you changed me completely.

You were never a mistake. I prayed and hoped for you for months, and the day I found out I was pregnant with you became one of the happiest days of my life.

Sometimes I think I was selfish for wanting to have you before I was fully prepared to raise you, but then I realized there’s never a perfect time for love. And no matter how hard life gets, I will always be grateful that I had you when my heart wanted you most.

Somehow, just by being you, you made me stronger every single day.

I may not have everything figured out yet, and life hasn’t been easy, but one thing I’ll never fail at is loving you with my whole heart.

Nakupenda mwanangu. More than words could ever explain.
You are my greatest blessing, my soft place, my little heartbeat outside my body.

One day, I hope you look back and realize mommy was trying her best for you every single day, bila kujali tuko mbali muda mwingi. Everything I do is with the hope that one day your life will be softer, easier, and more beautiful than mine ever was.

Happy birthday, roho yangu 🔐🫶🏽 by @dijah_303

A Letter to My Grown Daughter
From Your Young Mom, When You Were Almost 6
14 April

My dear daughter.

I hope that by the time you read and truly understand this letter, life is as beautiful as I am dreaming it to be right now. I hope I have succeeded in giving you the life you deserve — a life better than the one I had growing up.

It’s almost your birthday. I just turned 25 on March 30, and soon, on May 16, you will be 6.

While I am so happy for you and grateful to celebrate six whole years of having you in my life, that day also brings me a quiet kind of pain.

It reminds me of the promise I made to myself — a promise I haven’t yet fulfilled.

When I sent you to your grandma before you were even two years old, I told myself you would never reach school age there. I believed so strongly that God would make a way for me. I dreamed of building a better life so I could raise you myself.

I was certain that by the time you turned four, you would be back in my arms — going to a good English school, living a life different from the one I had.

But here we are.

You are now in your second class, at the same school I once went to, facing some of the same struggles I experienced. And that truth breaks my heart more than I can explain.

It hurts knowing that you’ve spent these years living a life you didn’t choose, because I wasn’t financially ready when I brought you into this world. Sometimes, I feel like I failed you… like I was selfish for having you before I could prepare a better world for you.

And for that, I am truly sorry.

But one thing I will never regret is having you.

Because having you early meant I got to love you early. You taught me what unconditional love truly feels like. You showed me that my heart can love without limits.

I’m sorry that I haven’t yet been able to show you fully how much I love you. I keep hoping, working, and praying that things will change — that by your next birthday, life will be different for us.

I’ve held onto that hope every single year… and even now, I still do.

Because I believe that God works in His own time. And when that time comes, everything will fall into place. by @dijah_303

“What have you achieved in your 24 years to life?”

I smiled and answered, “A daughter.”
My greatest blessing. My proudest achievement.

They laughed and said they expected more…
But tell me, what could be greater than creating and LOVING a whole human being? 🤍❤️

My heart lies with this beautiful soul, amd loving her will always be my greatest achievement 🔐❤️

My love for you is eternal.

I loved the idea of finding you.
I loved the plans of carrying you even though I planned alone
I loved the moment I realized I had you. It was the happiest day of my life

I fell in love with you every day I carried you in my belly
counting the days until I could finally hold you in my arms.

You were never a mistake.
I only planned you before I planned how to raise you.
That was my only mistake

My beautiful first born…
I am always praying to God to help you grow into the very best woman I couldn’t be. I promise to guide you, to support you, and to give you everything I have.
Giving up has never been an option since the day I became your mama.
I love you more than life itself, and truly, life wouldn’t make sense without you in it.

Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love really means.
Wewe ni zawadi yangu… baraka yangu… mtoto wa ujana wangu ❤️

Just saving this here, so one day you will read it and know exactly how deeply I love you 🤍 by @dijah_303
