Full text of Mark Zukerberg and his wife Priscilla's Letter to their new baby August, born yesterday, 28th August, 2017.
Priscilla and I are so happy to welcome our daughter, August! We wrote her a letter about the world we hope she grows up in, and also hoping she doesn't grow up too fast.

Dear August,
Welcome to the world! Your mom and I are so excited to see who you will become.
When your sister was born, we wrote about the world we hoped you and now will grow up in-- a world with better education, fewer diseases, stronger communities and greater equality. We wrote that with all the advances in science and technology, your generation should live dramatically better lives than ours, and we have a responsibility to do our part to make that happen. Even though headlines often focus on what's wrong., we still believe these positive trends will win out. We're optimists about our generation and the future.
But rather than writing about growing up, we want to talk about childhood. The world can be a serious place. That's why it's important to make to go outside and play.
You will be busy when you're older, so I hope you take time to smell all the flowers and put all the leaved you want into your bucket now. I hope you read your favorite Dr. Seuss books so many times you start inventing your own stories about the Vipper of vipp. I hope you ride the carousel with Max until you've tamed every color horse. I hope you run as many lap around our living room and yard as you want. And then I hope you take a lot of naps. I hope you re a great sleeper. And I hope even in your dreams you can feel how much we love you.
Childhood is magical. You only get to be a child once, so don't spend it worrying too much about the future. You've got us for that, and we'll do everything we possibly can to make sure the world is a better place for you and all children in your generation.
August, we love you so much and we're so excited to go on this adventure with you. We wish you a life of joy, love and the same hope you give us.
Love,
Dad and Mom
Congulations Mark and Priscilla.......
