When you show respect to others, even when they’re being jerks to you, you will always come out on top. I especially expect you to respect girls, and later, women. I expect you to respect law enforcement and those in authority over you. I expect you to respect your teachers and your friends. Everyone deserves respect and I expect you to show it. Even as a tiny young thing, I am so proud of how polite you are.
LETTERS MY MOTHER NEVER READ BOOK HOW TO
I have already begun to teach you how to respect your elders. He will give you the strength you need to get through the battle you’re facing. When that happens, always call on God to give you courage and be brave. 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. In those times, I want you to remember to be brave and show courage. I know because I’ve been there many times. 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. Your Daddy was so widely loved and admired because he loved and admired everyone around him. Hold on to that, even when life gets hard. Son, you have your Daddy’s same kind heart and compassionate nature. Everywhere he went, and to everyone he met, he spread kindness and laughter.
Use them as your guidebook, especially when life gets tough. As you grow, there are a few fundamental things I want you to cling to. The best I can do, son, is teach you and guide you to the best of my ability. But I can’t change the past and I can’t protect you from all the bad things as much as I want to. I wish we lived in a world where tragedy didn’t strike innocent children. Sweetheart, I wish I could change some of the harsh realities that have already happened in your young life. Before I started having babies, I knew I would have a son I even had your name picked out! You are more perfect than I could have ever dreamed when I found out we were having a little 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.
