Dear Alexa,
Yesterday was your very first day and it was incredible to finally see you. You are so beautiful.
One thing I want you to know about today ... you have great parents.
I say this not because your mom is my daughter and your dad my best friend; I say this because of all the people that showed up to support them while they were waiting for you to arrive. So many people love your parents, and your parents love so many people.
One of my favorite people there was Gabby Murillo - she is your parents' God-daughter. She was there patiently waiting for you all because she loves your mom and dad. She talks to them about all the things going on in her life, and lets them give her advice and help. She trusts your parents.
I tell you this because I want you to know how favored you are in having the parents that you have. So many people - and a lot of them young people - value your parents' thoughts and advice. You should, too. Listen to them; talk to them; honor them. You will not be sorry.
