My Letter To My Son

         Being a mother at very young age is frightening. I was so young and had my life planned ahead of me. But God had another plan for me. YOU...You were the major turning point in my life. I never thought that I will immediately be a mom. This is a life changing for me. A wake up call.
         I made sacrifices and at times, I lose motivation. But you keep me going. I see you grow each day. I watch you play and I see the passion you have for doing whatever you do and you don't let anything or anyone keep you from doing what you want to do. That's what keeping me going. Thank you for inspiring me when I'm uninspired.
         I get stressed out from my work and other things. I don't let myself be down, but subconsciously it takes its toll on me. Good thing you're there to smile at me. Because when you smile, everything feels lighter. There just something about your smile that makes everything go through worthwhile.Thank you for making my life a lot easier.
         I hope when you able to read this letter, I'm successful enough in making you understand that you are my teacher, my inspiration and mostly my beloved son. I'm grateful that God has given me the best gift that I could ever get.
         Always smile and just be your happy self. Always look at the bright side of life and never let anyone to bring you down. Promise me that you'll do your best in everything you do and I'll be there always to support you. I know that you'll grow into a good, successful person someday. I love you, Earl.
