My Deepest Wish Today

Dear Boy-o-Mine -

I'm going to a funeral in Pennsylvania today with Wally - a young woman with children your age who died from breast cancer. If something should happen to me this day, or any other day, please do one thing for me throughout your life.

Be loving and kind to the people around you at all times, no matter how you're feeling. Learn this in your soul. Take classes. Go to counseling. Do whatever you have to be kind and patient and loving. To be the best man you can be. Learn to handle stress in healthy ways so you never take it out on people around you, or yourself.

Impatience and rudeness are only reflections of a person thinking about themselves first, or who thinks they are better or smarter than you. This is generally translated to others as arrogance or egotism. Being known as arrogant, mean, or egotistical is not a good thing.

You are beautiful, loving, strong, and kind. Don't ever fool others into thinking anything else about you simply because you didn't think before you spoke.

Do these things. Life is short.
You saw what cruel men did to me. Do not be one of them.

Being rude and short is cruel and painful to the person listening and who loves you.
People who are angry and intolerant of others are only trying to manipulate people through intimidation and anger. Those who practice this behavior are transparent. They are disrespected.

Take a deep breath instead of showing frustration. Say a prayer and ask to feel love, compassion, and understanding for them instead.

First seek to understand.  Always.

It is another road to happiness in life. It leads to loving others - there is no greater joy in life than this. Seeing the good in humanity is a great reward and a beautiful way to see the world.

This is my deepest and biggest wish
...For you.
...For those you love.
...For my grandchildren and future generations.

It is in your power to send this chain of kindness through to future generations by doing.

Be the Change. 


I love you boy-o-mine.
