I prayed for you even before we met. I prayed that you would make it into this
world safely and I continue to pray that God will guide you through this life
and keep you safe from harm.
God has done his part and you will have to do yours. We have protected you as you grew. This world is not as nice and as wonderful as
we wished it would be for you. You have
to be careful and stay safe. There are a
lot of people in the world that are, let’s say, less than kind. You can’t focus on them or you won’t live the
full wonderful life that we want for you so look past them – onward and upward.
We did our best to raise you. We instilled our morals and faith. You’ve learned to treat others how you would
like to be treated, to be kind, and compassionate. We taught you the importance of saving and
the importance of helping people who are less fortunate than you.
You’ve learned the importance of an education and the
necessity of a strong work ethic. You’re
a lifelong learner, so I know you will continue to learn, grow, and improve
over your lifetime. It was important for
you to learn to be a critical thinker and to think for yourself so that you can
make your own decisions. You’ll need
that skill to make pertinent life choices.
We’ve taught you how to overcome obstacles as we modelled for you as we
progressed through our own life.
Now there are going to be some good times and wonderful
experiences that you will have. Enjoy
every minute of it and live well. But
there will also be some tough times and you’ll wonder how you will ever make it
through – you will. Listen to your
instincts, walk in truth and let the facts guide your decision. Just know, that you come from a long line of
strong individuals who have successfully taken this journey before you. You have everything you need inside of you to
live a wonderful life so go, live, enjoy.
And I will always pray for you. Oh,
and when you come back to visit bring popcorn – we’re watching Martin &
Gina.
