Dear David, Remember Your Daddy,

Hello sweet baby of mine. Today you spent the entire day with your Daddy. I couldn't pull you away from him and he was so excited to share this day with you. It is something he talked about before you were even born. Yes, I called you both geeks, but you are my geeks.

I write you this letter today because I want you to remember this day. I have this feeling that you and your Daddy won't always be like "Peas and Carrots." You need to know that your father loves you very much and he loves spending time with you. I hope and pray that your memories of him are not all of disciplining you. That isn't what your Daddy is all about.

I see the two of you together and there are times that I am Jealous. There is some bond between a Father and his young son that is almost magical. You look at him sometimes likee he can perform miracles, and in your eyes, he can.

You were so funny today. All of the other people called your Daddy, "John" and so you decided to call him that too. You would Yell out, "John, John, JOHN, DA-AD, I'm talking to you!" I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh. There are times when you are so adorable.

I didn't see it, but your Daddy told me all about how you sat on his lap and helped him make his contacts. How you walked around and played with the dog and the other kids, and most of all, how good you were. He wanted to spend this day with you so much, and you wanted the special time with your Daddy too.

This day wasn't really anything for the record books, a Momentous occassion, or even a holiday. This was just a special between you and your Daddy. I pray that there will be many many many more of these days.

You see, your Daddy and his Daddy, well, they don't have a very close relationship. I don't know if they ever did, but I want you to always be close with your Daddy. There will come a day when you are very angry with him. Don't let night fall on that anger. We all need family, and a son will always need his Daddy, even if he is 40.

I will try hard to make sure that you two always have your special times together, but one day you are going to have make the choice to sacrifice something you want to do so that you can spend time with your Daddy. I hope that you choose your Daddy.

I know you are still young, but I hope that you are like your Daddy and have a wonderful memory. I hope that you remember that at least, one day when you were three, you had a very special day with your Daddy.

Love,

Mommy
