It’s hard to believe you came into our lives Seven Months ago. At times it feels like I have known you a lifetime and at others it seems you just arrived. Having a son — where to even begin? People warned me it would be different but before you were here I laughed off their comments. Boy was I wrong. It’s true — it does feel different having a boy. You came into the world, looked me in the eye, and I knew you owned me from that moment on. There was a wisdom in the way you watched the world around you. I love seeing the world through your eyes. You smile willingly and love without bounds. Each day I’ve wanted to slow down time so I could experience each new moment with you over and over again. And here you are already at 7 months old. Inside I have a sinking suspicion that I will blink my eyes and you will be a teenager, a young man, and then a father yourself.
So few months before your big birthday I couldn’t help but feel the need to put words on paper to somehow freeze this moment. They are words of encouragement. Words of love. And words of wisdom. I want so much for you and I’m afraid that with the chaos that is life I might forget to tell you all these things. So here it is. My hopes and dreams for you dear boy.
Always, always, always choose kindness. Others will make fun and some will be downright mean at times but I am asking you to choose kindness because the world needs more of it. Be a beacon of light and hope even in the darkest of moments.
Make friends. You will always have your family, but friends are the family you choose. They will make your life richer, more funny, and more bearable. You can never have too many friends, but it’s imperative that you have just a handful that know every little thing about you and love you just the same.
IN WHATEVER YOU DO REMEMBER GOD THE ALMIGHTY. YOU CAN'T PROSPER WITHOUT HIM. MARK YOU, HIS PLANS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST.
Work hard. There is no such thing as a free lunch. I want to give you everything. There is nothing sweeter than spoiling your children with the things they dream about having. BUT we also know that confidence and a feeling of self worth are earned from working your way up the ladder. The best night of sleep comes after a long hard day of work.
Take care of yourself. You only get one body, one mind, and one heart in this life and you owe it to yourself to treat it with respect. Eat well. Be prayerful. Follow the teachings of our prophet,the best man ever to walk on this world.
My love for you will know no bounds. Please always tell me things. Ask me things. And know that you will find no judgement from me. You may disappoint me with the choices you make, but I will tell you that and we will move on. The day you were born was the best day of my life. I will never forget it. YOUR MOTTO SHOULD BE- NON SIBI
