Open Letter to my Son

April, 2004

My First Born.

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
