Happy Thoughts

Letter to my son,

Talk about time passing by! Whew…. my little boy starts College this coming week. I guess you’re  not a little boy any longer; but in my heart you will always have that innocent smile, that ‘Superman’ look, the tenderness of  ‘the White Power Ranger’  and the loving heart of Peter Pan…

 Why do I suddenly feel like I’m losing you,  I clearly see how they are beginning to take your own path and starting your own journey ….all without my help! Is that possible?

While my heart breaks to see grow up, I can’t tell you how pleased and proud I am to see the person you have become. I wouldn’t trade you or Carolina for anything in the world. You are compassionate, intelligent, wise for your age, loving, and my list goes on and on….

How I wish I lived long enough to see you both acquire the things in life I wish for you; love, happiness, children, of course a ‘better half’, successful relationships, friends,….

-Did you notice I did not mention work? Profession? ..if you have been following my  blog you know that to me; first and foremost in life is the relationships you build. A successful career means nothing if you have no one to share the success with!….all the worldly possessions mean nothing if you don’t have someone!

My favorite son!

My favorite son!

So I wish them love! I wish them happiness, peace, but more than anything I wish “they never change”  I wish that no matter what, they find each other for holidays. I wish that no matter how busy their day is; that they find time to call one another in each other’s birthday.

I wish they take a few minutes a week to stay in touch with each other. I wish they take interest in each other’s life!

Because as they get older, they will realize; it was not the destination – it was the journey that made it all worthwhile….

I love you son, keep thinking ‘Happy Thoughts’….
