Dreams We Have for our Children
Hello my Son,
As your Mommy, I have certain dreams for you. Some are "high and mighty" and others are just "cute," but the biggest dream that I have is that I want you to be happy. I want you to choose a career that you truly love, to have friends that you can rely on, and always have a loving family around you. I want you to be content with who you are and not spend your life worried about what other people think of you.
This week we came to spend some time with "Aunt" Alexis, Emily, Chris and Sam. I see you playing and fighting with Sam and Chris like they are your own sister and brother, but they aren't. I want you to remember these days though, and always stay close to them. I hope that one day, when you find the person that you want to spend eternity with, they come with a family as great as this. I don't know if you will ever have a "real" brother or sister, but if you don't, maybe, just maybe, Emily, Chris and Sam can be your adopted siblings. Don't ever forget about them. Their parents have taught them well so I know that if you ever needed someone, they would be there for you. I hope they will always be a part of your life.
You are only three now, so it is still too soon to teach you some of the things that I want to teach you, but if you are reading this now, you are no longer three, so maybe it isn't too soon. I don't know what the future holds so I don't know what will shape your view of what a family is, but if you ever wonder or need a second look, find Aunt Alexis. Not only can she tell you more about me than anyone in the world, she also knows alot about what it is to be a family. I hope that I can teach you how to be a good friend, a great husband, and a great father one day.
Make sure you ask yourself, before committing to any relationship, what will be there after the chocolate coating is gone? Will plain vanilla be enough or will there be another surprise waiting for you in the center? And remember, sometimes boring is good.
Oh Precious Child of mine, what a sentimental sap you must think I am. I can just see the grown up you rolling your eyes at me and saying, "Ah Mom." This actually makes me smile. I hope that I live long enough to annoy your children.
Remember, my dreams are not yours, but you should never, ever give up dreaming.
I love you bery bery much my sweet Goober Boy!
