Dear Kyla,
Today you are five months old and your Daddy and I cannot believe how fast time has flown over the past few months. We just got back from Nana and Grampa's cottage where we spent a week with Great Aunt Elaine from Scotland and Gran. So many memories were made, many photographs taken but still your Daddy and I cannot help but feel like all of these moment are slipping away too fast so we decided to start writing letters to you so each little memory has a home where we can come back to. So here is your first letter.
I could tell you about everything that has happened over the past few months or all the wonderful and clever things you are doing right now but I will save those things for later letters. For now I wanted to show you something very special, a song written especially for you. You may not recognize any of the words yet but I am sure you know the tune as your Daddy and I sing it to you often. It was written for your dedication just a few weeks ago, a very special day where we celebrated you!
I think as you grow up it will become one of your favourite songs and I hope you will hear our love in the tune as you hum it throughout your life.

A Song for Kai
We want you to know
You are surrounded by love
Like the great, big ocean
That we’ve spoken of
We want you to dream
When the daylight breaks
To imagine an enchanted
world
Even when you’re awake
And though we don’t know how to do it
And you have to grow your
own wings
We want you to teach you
to listen
To the beauty in
everything,
To listen to it sing
When you finally arrived
We were so surprised
That this tiny stranger
Could change our lives
We want you to know
We want you to discover
All of the places we love
And our love for each other
And
though we don’t know how to do it
And you have to grow your
own wings
We want you to teach you
to listen
To the goodness in
everything,
To listen to it sing
Maybe it’s supernatural,
finding out
That paradise is
How wonderful life is
That heaven’s reflection
is in your smile
Our best advice is
Whatever the crisis
To listen to the song in
your heart
When you fall asleep at
night
Close your eyes and we’ll
kiss you,
Love ain’t the issue
There’s always enough to
go around
And though we don’t know how to do it
And you have to grow your
own wings
We want you to teach you
to listen
To the beauty in
everything,
To listen to it sing
