My dear sweet boy,
You are such a blessing to my life and I love watching you
grow! You are just now beginning to show your amazing personality and I am so
proud of the young man I see you becoming. You are more perfect than I could
have ever dreamed. I knew from before I started having babies that one day I
would have a son; I even had your name picked out!
Son, I wish I could change some of the harsh realities that
have already happened in your young life. I wish we lived in a world where
tragedy didn’t strike innocent children. But I can’t change the past and I
can’t protect you from all the bad things, as much as I want to. The best I can
do, son, is teach you and guide you to the best of my ability. As you grow,
there are a few fundamental things I want you to cling to. Use them as your
guide book, especially when life gets tough.
SPREAD KINDNESS LIKE WILDFIRE.
Your dad is the epitome of kindness. Everywhere I go and to
everyone i meet, i spread kindness and laughter. Son, you have your Daddy’s
same kind heart and compassionate nature. Hold on to that, even when life gets
hard. The reason why your Daddy is so widely loved and admired is because he
loved and admired everyone around him. Everyone deserves kindness, baby. Don’t
be afraid to show it.
BE BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS.
There will be times in your life where you’d rather hide or
run or bury your head in the sand than face whatever challenge is in your way.
I know because I’ve been there many times. In those times, be brave and show
courage. But bravery and courage don’t have to come from you; in fact, it often
doesn’t because we, as humans, struggle with the strong grip of fear. Often
times it overwhelms us. When that happens, always call on God to give you
courage and be brave. He will give you the strength you need to get through the
battle.
BE RESPECTFUL
PUT GOD FIRST
ITS ALWAYS THE RIGHT CHOICE TO DO THE RIGHT THING
My baby, you are far too young for any of this to mean
anything to you right now. But I promise that one day you will need these bits
and pieces of advice. Tuck them away in your heart and draw them out when you
need them.
LOVE. ELIKEM "THE TAILOR" DAD
