Dear Sweet Son

You are smart and wise. You are logical and you can really think out side the box. You are sincere and compassionate. You can love and understand others like most adults cannot. You are charming and sarcastic. You are dependable and determined. You are a hard worker and you have an uncanny ability to figure things out. You are a math whiz and an animal lover. You are a joker. You are someone who should be admired.




You have so much potential. You have a whole world of possibilities ahead of you. You can be ANYTHING you want to be.


I want you to be a dad, a chef, a crab fisherman, a hunter, a doctor, a lawyer, a preacher, a teacher, a pharmacist, a truck driver, the president or a nuclear engineer. There is no one who gets to make that choice but you.


I don't want you to ever feel like you are not loved. YOU ARE EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF EVERY DAY


I don't want you to ever feel unworthy of love. YOU ARE WORTHY


I never want you to feel second best. YOU ARE #1


I never want you to settle for less than the best. YOU DESERVE IT


I want you to always respect yourself. YOU ARE RESPECTABLE


I want you to always do your best. IT IS IMPORTANT


I never want you to let someone pressure you to do anything you don't want to do. YOU ARE WISE, YOU CAN AND WILL MAKE GOOD CHOICES


I want you to remember that you are human and you are entitled to make mistakes. OWN UP TO YOURS


I never want you to let someone tell you how to feel about yourself. YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN GOLD AND SILVER


If you can't own up to your mistakes, reevaluate your life. YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT


Never take anything that isn't yours. YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING THAT BAD


Never let another person put their hands on you. YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE HIT


Never put your hands on anyone. YOU HAVE MORE VALUE THAN THAT


Always keep yourself and your house clean. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN I MIGHT STOP BY


Promises are to be made and not broken. OTHERS COUNT ON YOU


Never tell someones secret (unless they are in danger, then its not really a secret). YOU ARE TRUSTWORTHY


Be the person you want your children to be. VALUES ARE EVERYTHING


Never degrade another person. YOU MAY BE ALL THEY HAVE


Always stand up for what is right, even when its not the popular thing to do. SOMEONE NEEDS TO, MIGHT AS WELL BE YOU


There are always going to be people who are different. MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE THEY AREN'T


Always remember how your father treats me. NEVER GIVE ANY LESS OF YOURSELF


Son, the day I had you was truly one of the best days of my life. You have brought so much joy into my life. I love you more than words can say. Thank you for being you.


I love you all the way to the sun and the moon and the stars and back!


Love always and forever, Mom
