Letter to my baby

To my first born,

WOW, today is the big day. I am very excited to meet you! I just can't believe that after 9 months of it being "you and me Kid" I am about to bring you into this world and share you with everyone.

I have so many promises for you. I promise you unconditional love. As you get older, you will realize what a rare thing this is, but your mommy and daddy will love you unconditionally, no matter what this big, bad world brings, you will always have us in your corner. We have waiting for you, longed for you, prayed for you for so long it seems, and all this time our love for you has just been building and building.

We promise to give you all the tools you need to succeed in life, self confidence, faith in the Lord, morals to do the right thing and the knowledge that failure is not always wrong or a bad thing, we have to fail sometimes in order to learn.

We promise you a safe haven for a home... that when you are in your home, you will be surrounded by love, laughter, support and I am sure a little football!! I promise that your dad and I will use kind words to you and to each other. Yes, we might sometimes argue but we will do so with respect for our home, it is not a battle ground.

Our hopes and dreams for you are so high, we want you to grow up to be a loving, caring individual. We want you to be confident enough to be your own person, to walk the right path with your head held high, even if it is not the path everyone else seems to be walking. We just want your life to be a happy and full filling one.

We love you so very much. I cannot belive that in 12 hours I will be holding you in my arms. It can't get here soon enough.

We love you, child of our hearts!
Mom and Dad
