To My Son, with
Love,
One of the Important Things in Life
A Mom tries to provide her Son
with insight into the important things in life
in order to make his life as happy and as
fulfilling as possible
A Mom tries to teach her Son
to be good, always helpful to other people
to be fair, always treating others equally
to have a positive attitude at all times
to always make things right when they
are wrong
to know himself very well to know what
his
talents are
to
set goals for himself
to not be afraid of working too hard to
reach
his goals . . .
A
Mom tries to teach her Son
to
have many interests to pursue
to
laugh and have fun every day
to
appreciate the beauty of nature
to
enter into friendships with good people
to
honor their friendships and always be a
true
friend
to
appreciate the importance of the family
and
to particularly respect and love our elder
members
to
use his intelligence at all times
to
listen to his emotions
to
adhere to his values
A
Mom tries to teach her Son
to
not be afraid to stick to his beliefs
to
not follow the majority when the majority
is
wrong
to
carefully plan a life for himself
to
vigorously follow his chosen path
to
enter into a relationship with someone
worthy
of himself
to
love this person unconditionally with his
own
mind
to
share all that he has learned in life with
this
person . . .
If
I have provided you with an insight
into
most of these things
then
I have succeeded
as
a Mom
in
what I hoped to accomplish in raising you
If
many of these things slipped by
while
we were all so busy
I
have a feeling that you know them
anyway
One
thing I am sure of, though
I
have taught you to be proud of the fact
that
you are a man equal to all men and
I
have loved you every second of your life
I
have supported you at all times
and
as a Mom, as a person, and as a
friend
I
will always continue to cherish and love
everything
about you,
My
Son.
