Dear Jack v. 1

Dear Jack,


I hope you always know I always wanted you. You are the best part of me.

I hope you're never embarrassed to kiss me on the cheek and tell me you love me. Even when you're 17 and too cool for school.

I hope you and your daddy are best friends. I foresee a lot of adventures in your future.



I hope you trust me with your feelings and your secrets-I am, and always will be, your biggest supporter.

I hope you are a fisher of men.

I hope you love my cooking and come home from college with requests for me to make your favorite meals.



I hope you know Christ's love.

I hope you are always silly and always determined (these are two of your best qualities)

I hope you are a kind and cheerful helper. (I know you will be, you already are.)



I hope you will know the difference between right and wrong and not be afraid to say no.

I hope you make mistakes (and learn from them).

I hope when I am old and grey you will return the favor and take care of me as I once took care of you.



I have so many hopes and dreams for you, little man. I hope you will have them for yourself one day, too.

I love you always.


-Mama
