Open Letter to my Son
2004
My First Born Darrell.
Congratulations my dearest son.
You have discovered all the things, which make life beautiful. Its not the cars, the houses, or the boats, which bring pure happiness, but the miracle of birth and creation.
This newness of life starts out small, even though you have chosen to start your own family with super-size, and blossoms into all that you are, all that you have, and all that you will be, and this life will bring you much needed joy and fullness.
This fullness is made complete with a good dose of Christianity, and with the help and grace of God, and never forgetting that without him, all is for nothing. So, take your family to church, as often as you can, and acknowledge his greatness as it will give you purpose.
Ask for his guidance everyday so you can lead your children in the best ways and instill in them their source for strength.
Do the best that you can, for in a few short years it will be their turn to guide their children, your grandchildren, and you will be able to say without hesitation,
“I have done all that I know,
I have done all that is good and right,
I have done well”.
with love,
Dad
