Mark Zuckerberg, Priscilla Chan Welcome Daughter With Heartwarming Letter
Mark Zuckerberg is something of a divisive figure these days.
Sure, he founded a service that mostof us use every day, and he says he’s committed to making the world a better place, but at the same time, there are many who believe he’s more responsible than anyone else for the proliferation of “fake news” that loomed so large over the 2016 election.
Plus, we’re sick of getting notifications every time someone on our friends list “goes live” to show off their new haircut, ya know.
Anyway, the Zuck seems like an okay guy who’s probably a bit over his head of arguably the world’s most important media outlet, but that’s a conversation for another time.
Today, all we have to say to Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan is congratulations on bringing another billionaire baby into the world!
Yes, Zuckerberg announced yesterday on Facebook (natch) that he and wife Priscilla Chan had welcomed a baby girl named August.
She’s the second child for the couple who welcomed daughter Max in 2015.
As he did when Max was born, Zuckerberg penned a moving open letter to his baby girl:
“Welcome to the world! Your mom and I are so excited to see who you will become,” he began.
Zuckerberg then referenced the viral letter that he wrote to Max, before revealing that he’d like to take a slightly different tone this time around.
When your sister was born, we wrote a letter about the world we hoped she and now you will grow up in — a world with better education, fewer diseases, stronger communities, and greater equality … We’re optimists about your generation and the future, the billionaire CEO wrote.
Zuckerberg concludes with an ode to the magic of child that’s sure bring a tear to any parent’s eye:
“You will be busy when you’re older, so I hope you take time to smell all the flowers and put all the leaves you want in 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 laps 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.”
Not only is it a powerful message of love from a devoted parent, it’s also a potent reminder that not every Facebook post has to be about politics, people, damn!
We hope Mayweather and McGregor fight again just so we can have another one hour break from Trump talk in our timeline.
Make it happen, you two!
It’s a step toward redeeming yourselves for lifetimes of douche-baggery.
Oh, and, um … congratulations to Mark and Priscilla.
Sorry, we got a little sidetracked there.

Mark Zuckerberg & Priscilla Chan Welcome Baby Girl!
The man who brought Facebook into the world, now has an even bigger accomplishment to be proud of:
The billionaire tech mogul shared the news of Priscilla Chan’s pregnancy via a touching and surprisingly candid Facebook status (of course) back in July.
Moments ago he informed his millions of “friends” that he and Chan have welcomed a baby girl named Max with a similarly heartfelt open letter to his new daughter:
“Your mother and I don’t yet have the words to describe the hope you give us for the future.”
“Your new life is full of promise, and we hope you will be happy and healthy so you can explore it fully. You’ve already given us a reason to reflect on the world we hope you live in.
“Our generation grew up in classrooms where we all learned the same things at the same pace regardless of our interests or needs.
“Your generation will set goals for what you want to become – like an engineer, health worker, writer or community leader. You’ll have technology that understands how you learn best and where you need to focus.
“You’ll advance quickly in subjects that interest you most, and get as much help as you need in your most challenging areas.”
“You’ll explore topics that aren’t even offered in schools today. Your teachers will also have better tools and data to help you achieve your goals.
“And we can only focus on serving this community and this mission because we are surrounded by loving family, supportive friends and amazing colleagues.”
“We hope you will have such deep and inspiring relationships in your life too.
“Max, we love you and feel a great responsibility to leave the world a better place for you and all children.”
“We wish you a life filled with the same love, hope and joy you give us. We can’t wait to see what you bring to this world.”
You can read Zuckerberg’s full letter to little Max on his Facebook page.
Congrats to Mark and Priscilla, not only for welcoming a new life into the world, but for taking the occasion as an opportunity to reflect on how each of us can help make this planet a better place, and sharing their insights with the Internet’s largest community.
Sounds like you have some pretty cool parents, Max.
