365 Things I Want My Daughter To Know Jennie Marquez

As your baby girl becomes a woman, you may find yourself wondering: "Where did all the time go?", "Is she ready to be out there on her own?", "Did I teach her the things that she needs to know?", and "Will she hear me if I tell her, now that she thinks that she is all grown up?" These are the questions that plagued my mind as my daughter sped through her senior year and was on the precipice of moving away for college. I wanted to encourage her and also secure her against the perils of life. I wanted to make sure she knew that even when she felt alone out there, she wasn't. I wanted her to know that even when it got hard and scary and she had already made a hundred mistakes, she could still do it. There were so many important and complicated things to share with her about love, friendship, responsibility, money, hard work, pain and sadness, peace and happiness, strength and fear, what to do when life gets you down, impossible decisions, and general tips to create a life worth living. And most importantly, I wanted her to know how much I love her and how special she is. In this book, there is a little piece of wisdom for each day of the year. This is the book that I wrote for Al.
