On Monday, the Facebook CEO and wife Dr. Priscilla Chan introduced their second daughter, August. Their first daughter, Max, will turn two later this year.

Zuckerberg posted a letter written to August about the world they hope she grows up in, focused on making sure she enjoys her childhood.

“Childhood is magical,” reads an excerpt from the letter. “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.”

Zuckerberg and Chan have openly shared the difficulties they’ve had in having children. The couple revealed they had experienced three miscarriages before the arrival of their first daughter, Max, in 2015.

In the letter, the couple say they remain optimistic about the future, but want their newest daughter to embrace childhood.
