The letter all parents and kids must read

With hundreds of comments and thousands of shares, this letter to Santa is going viral for all the right reasons.

Diana Vasquez Prado shared this photo of her 8-year-old daughter Nadia’s letter to Santa on the Love What Matters Facebook page on the weekend, and it’s captured the hearts of parents all over the world.

View the letter here where Nadia states, “This year I ask for nothing.

I have toys, a home, family and love. So this year I want to make you something. Tell me what you want this year and I’ll make it.”

Diana commented on the photo, saying, "When I found it, my heart melted, and I cried.

“Our favorite holiday is Christmas, and I’ve always tried to instil the true spirit of Christmas into each of my daughters.

“There are times that we doubt ourselves as parents. There are times that we wonder if we’re doing a good enough job raising good people.

“She has learned that family is everything and love is more important than gifts under a tree.”

Comments came flooding in, as readers echoed the sentiments of Nadia’s mother.

Facebook user Shelby Von Schweetz commented, “THIS kid here is being raised right. So much love for this little girl! Merry Christmas Nadia!”

Another Facebook user, Susan Stowe, commented “Thank you parents that are raising your children to be good people.”

A comment by Facebook user Pamela Genovese summed it all up by saying how refreshing it was to “see a child with an attitude of gratitude.”

Diana then shared a photo of her daughter, saying, “Thank you, everybody for all of your kind words. I’ll make sure they reach her.”
