From the letter:

Meggie what I am about to tell you may seem silly, but to me darling girl it is a most important piece of advice. Teach your children your children to ROAR, I know seems silly but if you don’t encourage their imaginations, how will they ever know how great they can be? There was a couple weeks when you were about three you would only eat green vegetables, you were a giraffe, and giraffes don’t eat meat you said. you have a life long love of giraffes but no one told you that you couldn’t be one. And no one told Tommy who has severe dyslexia he couldn’t go to medical school, although you all call him a pretend Dr. I do wonder how many times children are told they can’t be something and it prevents them as adult from being that very thing that is truly their calling. Teach you children to Roar Meggie and marvel at their imaginations.
