Emma I loved this! I recently fell down a bit of a ‘Letters Live’ YouTube rabbit hole - it’s SO good! Must have been fantastic to be at one live. Definitely gonna check out the podcast too. And the letter to your daughter! 🩷🩷🩷 your post brought me to realise that I wrote a letter to my son towards the end of my pregnancy with him. But I never did the same with my daughter. There are excuses I can trot out - the pandemic, massive work things happening with my first film just about to come out etc - but I think I need to rectify this. Thank you for the inspiration 😊
Oh Vicki it was incredible - if you ever get the opportunity...take it!! Thank you for your lovely words about the letter - it is such a powerful thing to do. I did it for my eldest, and I now want to do it for my youngest. I think it will be a very different experience but there is something so beautifully connecting about doing it. Let me know how you get on!!! xx
Oh wow… I have full body goosebumps reading your letter. As a Mama of two daughters, but still very much in the early years… I can feel a resonance from my future self here. What a gift this letter is, thank you for sharing it. And that podcast sounds amazing. So grateful for your words here. Zz
Thanks so much - the podcast is absolutely beautiful, it will make you laugh and it will make you cry. Your lovely words mean so so much, it's hard to express what I feel about my girls as they teeter on the cusp of adulthood. It's a wondrous stage but also so complex. Much love xx
Ahhh Emma this was such a magic read! I loved hearing about the event and the podcast which sounds so wonderful…and then your letter…I could really sense your beautiful daughter and the relationship you have. As my 4 year old daughter lies next to me, I know I will look back on these days with such tenderness (though it’s not always easy!) the love you describe speaks straight to my heart, the exquisite and the excruciating! Holding them close whilst knowing you are preparing them to fly. Thank you for sharing your beautiful daisies xx
I have a 3 year old daughter and I feel like I’ve just glimpsed part of mine and my daughters relationship in the future, the unbearable ache for them - for love and for loss of some kind.
A stunning letter, what a blessed daughter she is to have these words from her mama. X
Oh thank you so much, what lovely words. It is an ache, but also such a joy. For every ending there is a new beginning…that’s what we’ve been working towards for all these years I guess but some aspects of it are so hard!! ❤️❤️
Wow I love this so much Emma! So grateful for you sharing that podcast too, that will be added to my list! It’s made me want to write one to Mia, and again the similarities continue as she too went straight to an incubator and had her first Christmas in special care, following an emergency section, I think that probably made us hold on to them a little tighter too?
Yesterday I was at another uni with Mia, checking it out for what’s coming, maybe I’ll write my letter for then, thank you for sharing and being the inspiration you always are, such a beautiful letter ❤️⭐️
Oh that’s made me shiver!! Yes I think it absolutely makes us hold onto them tighter, and I think gives them a sense of depth and knowledge that is hard to define. Happy Mother’s Day, maybe today is a day to write a letter 💕💕💕 much love x
This is so beautiful, Emma. I love these three daisies you've gifted us with.
Thank you Caroline, so much ❤️
Stunning. What incredible words to weave for your daughter and that event sounds totally epic! Thanks for taking part today Emma!! ✨🌼✨
Oh it was amazing!! Such a treat, thank you my lovely ❤️
Absolutely beautiful - I wish I could write such a stunning letter to each of my 3 children - it is truly lovely. xx
Thank you ❤️

My eldest daughter Daisy is 15, these beautiful words really resonated with me. Thank you
Oh you’re so welcome, thank you ❤️

This is beautiful. I also wrote a letter to my daughter (10). I hope she is still crawling in bed with me when she is on the cusp of womanhood.
This is a living breathing artifact. Something I’m sure Emma will cherish forever.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
So beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️
thank you so much ❤️
What a beautifully written letter to your eldest, Emma. How generous of you (both) for sharing such an intimate letter. Just lovely. 🙏🏻❤️
Sending you much love as always. Xxx
Thank you my beautiful friend. Mothering daughters is special indeed ❤️
I really want to give a dear daughter letter a go after you mentioned it the other day💛✨
Perfect. 🙌
thank you ❤️
