Dear my unborn child,

I just want you to know that I tried to make this world for you as beautiful as possible. I did this for you because I want you to be able to enjoy nature like I did as a child. When I was a little girl, my mother would always take me to the beach where I learned to swim in the ocean and enjoy the sound of the waves and the salty feeling on my skin. My grandmother would always take us the local beach in my town. I remember finding a baby turtle on the beach and helping it return safely to the bay. My father always took my siblings and I fishing, and skiing upstate.These memories I will cherish forever, but without nature they would never even exists. This is why I hope you can enjoy the sand between your toes and the ocean breeze, and feel the sunshine. Although there has been destruction, but I hope there is a way humanity can turn it around so you can enjoy the beautiful world you were brought into and part of.
