Hi Sweetie,
I know that I am supposed to be the adult raising you but you have been my rock all throughout these years. You have taught me to be a mom and to become a better person. You have taught me not to give up, to be strong, to forgive and to love unconditionally. You taught me not to forget to lock the doors or not to forget my car keys and to always make sure my computer virus protection is up-to-date. You taught me a lot.
There is so much I want to say to you, especially now that you are almost entering the teen years. Always know that I will always be here to listen to you. Remember, I was a teenager once myself not too long ago, so I will understand. I am not perfect but know I will always try my best for you.
Here are just some things I have come up. These are the things that I believe in and am in the continuous process of incorporating in my life. It will mean much to me if you learn it too. So here goes.
1. Always be curious. Read. Explore. Ask questions.
2. Be nice. But when the occasion calls for it, be tough and strong.
3. Treasure your friends and family. Be there for them.
4. Work and study hard.
5. Don’t be afraid to follow your dream.
6. Remember – moderation is key (in whatever you do).
7. Enjoy.
8. Know what you want and get it!
9. Keep your feet on the ground. Remember where you came from and the people who helped you along the way.
10. Laugh, cry, live!
11. Don’t deliberately hurt girls.
12. A hangover is just a state of mind.
13. Be careful. The real world can be tough. Look out for yourself.
14. Save. Invest. Be smart and careful about money.
15. Don’t give up. There is always a solution to a problem.
16. Avoid temptations.
17. Be humble enough to ask for help.
18. Apologize when you are wrong.
19. Call your mom.
20. Keep the faith.
You are a strong, smart and wonderful boy. I am so excited to see you become the happy, wonderful person that I know in my heart you will be.
Always know that I love you and will always be here for you.
Mom
