Welcome. These are letters to my unborn daughter, Lily Grace Smith. She has a rare chromosomal disorder called, Trisomy 18 or Edwards Syndrome, and is not expected to live through infancy. These letters are my attempt to communicate with her all the things a father wants his daughter to know. They represent the conversations and the advise that I want to share with her. Please feel free to read the letters and to comment. In return, I only ask that you make sure your children know how much you love them.

Letter to Lily 1/23/2009

Dear Lily,

You have been a little active one these past few days. You know, the doctors said that you would not be very active inside mommy's belly. I say, you be whoever you want to be. Don't ever let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do. There is a saying that I like. "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." I want you to be the kind of girl who always thinks she can. If you fail, that's ok. No one will be angry with you. In fact, we will be proud of you for trying so hard. So, you keep fighting, ok? You keep kicking me in my sleep, and I'll keep praying for you and sending you happy thoughts. Deal?

All my love,

Daddy
