when you're older
Hudson,
I love you. Do you know that? With that being said, here's some things I hope your daddy and I teach you:
- God is first. No question about it. If you're confused about something, just ask him. If I've learned anything in life it's that I should've seen his signs for me sooner and I would've if I was just open to seeing/hearing what He had to say.
- Respect your daddy. I know you're gonna be a momma's boy... we're already getting our good snuggles in daily. But, your daddy loves you so much. He's going to be proud of you every day of your life. No matter if he's acting crazy (which he will) always respect him. Say "yes sir" and "no sir" even if you're fighting mad at him.
- Work hard. Come on now... don't be lazy. You have two granddads and great-granddads who are hard workers and are amazing men. They have hands that show what they've done in life and they can fix anything. There are five men who look forward to knowing you, my hope is that you get to truly know each of them.
- Don't bring home trashy girls. Alright, maybe that was harsh... BUT... The other day I saw this teen-age girl bouncing to a truck to see a boy. Her shorts were SO short and SO tight, I have no idea how she got them on or how they were comfortable. Seriously, do better than that. Find a girl who loves God and respects herself enough to take pride in her body. Be sweet to the good ones and don't cross the line.
- Smile and don't sweat the small stuff. Life's too short, son, to worry. I promise, you're dad and I will worry enough for you for the rest of forever, so it's your job to have fun.
You're amazing. You're a gift from God and every day you have is an extension of that gift. Live it up!
love you my little turtle,
momma
