“I hope I can love my daughter the way you loved me, the way you loved my brother and my sisters,” Smith-Petersen read.
“Thank you for giving me strength, my heart, my empathy, my courage, my sense of humor, my manners, my temper, my wildness, my tenacity. I’m a product of your heart, my sisters are a product of your heart, my brother is a product of your heart.”
