Dearest Gabriella,

When Mommy and Daddy were preparing to welcome you to this world, we first had to spend several months praying for your name.  It was not an easy task.  Gabriella, we picked your name because it means “God is my strength”.  We hope and pray that you’ll grow up every day knowing what your name means.  Mommy and Daddy were blessed with parents who always prayed for us, demonstrated unconditional love and helped us live a Christ-centered life.  As your parents, we promise to love you no matter what, pray for you every day, and be there for you always.  Although we are still learning to become praying parents, we will do our best to model Christ’s love and Christ-centered life for you.  Gabriella, you are such a beautiful, happy, independent and a strong-willed child.  We pray that God will continue to pour His abundant blessings in every step of your life, so that you can grow up to be a beautiful and a godly woman.  We love you very much and may God bless you on this meaningful day.

From Mommy and Daddy who are thankful and proud to be your parents
