Letter to my Unborn Son: Dear Jase, It will not be long now before you enter this world, and change my life forever. I could not be more excited for your arrival. I also could not be more terrified, but that is okay. You are my number one priority in life now and eventually, and very quickly, you and I will acclimate to the shock and awe of this new world together. You will begin to discover that the loud booming voice you hear is me, probably cheering on my football team. You will also learn that the other voice you hear, the voice that is very familiar and offers you comfort, is the same voice you heard from inside your safe world before this one; it is the voice of your amazing mother. You will also learn that there will be a lot of people surrounding you, and they might scare you at first, because you were used to hanging out by yourself for 38 to 39 weeks, but do not worry, they love you, and your awesomeness will make you irresistible to others (this will also come in handy later in life :-) ). In my time waiting for you, I have been thinking about things that I would like you to know when you enter this world, and hopefully remember as you start your own remarkable journey through life. I hope you find them to be useful and I will continue to help you learn to get through this world, and you, undoubtedly, will teach me a thing or two along the way as well. The first thing I want you to know is that you do not need to grow up too fast, nor do you need to take on the world too early. That is exactly why I am here. I will carry the weight of the world on my shoulders until you become a man and then I will pass it onto you so that you may do the same for your children. Your job will be to play in the dirt, laugh at all the things little boys (and grown men) find hysterical, watch cartoons, and get on your brother and sisters nerves. You will find that sometimes life is not fair, and that there will always be people that enjoy being mean, people that will not want you to succeed and will hate you when you do succeed. Do not let these people bother you. Continue on in your pursuits with your head held high. The best way to silence a critic is to prove them wrong. Be kind and treat other with respect. This is important. It does not mean that you have to let people take advantage of you. It is especially important to be kind and respectful to people that you lead or manage or people that others may view as below you socially and economically. The way you treat the less fortunate is a true indicator of the kind of man you will be; the way you treat them even if your peers are not treating them well, is an even better indicator. Be like your daddy in this aspect. Most importantly, I will always love you. My love is unconditional and unequivocal, and it always will be, no matter what happens or which life decisions you make. This love will cause me to fight to the end of the earth for you, to hold your hand when you are lost, hug you when you are scared. I will be there for you with words of wisdom when you fall in love the first time, and again when she breaks your heart. I will be there when you find your true love and when you start a family of your own. This same love will also cause me to send you to your room or ground you. Do not mistake this as me being mean, it is the greatest love in which I do this, because without discipline life becomes much harder. Those are some of the tips I have for you. They will get you started and carry you through for awhile, but always remember, when you are feeling lost and confused with what to do, I am your father. You can always come to me. I will not have all the answers, but well figure it out together. Son, you have my heart from here on out and I am blessed to be your father. See you soon little man, Your Dad P.S. - You will have to be patient with your sister Melanie. She will think her way of doing things is always right.
