Tonight, as I prepare to lie next to you and watch you sleep, on the end of this day after you turned four months old . . . this day that you sat in your high chair for the first time . . . this day that you laughed and smiled and talked to me with your eyes . . . even though you perhaps didn't feel so good because of the immunization shots you had yesterday . . . . this day that I loved you more than yesterday -
I want you to know this, and know it forever:
Nothing you become will disappoint me;
I have no preconception that I'd like to see you be or do.
I have no desire to foresee you,
only to discover you.
You cannot disappoint me.
Tuck those words into your heart Son . . . bury them, within your soul - and if ever you need reminding of them, they will never be far from the edge of my lips.
With all that I have and all I hope to one day be,
I love you.
