Here I sat holding my son. Bella had gone to bed a while ago but she had been up with him the last few days that we had been home. She never wanted me to get up but I knew she was tired. This parenting thing was all new to us and so we were trying to get it down as well as we could. As I was walking around his room I was looking at all the little trinkets people had given him. Things that he didn't need but people wanted to give him. Things that in his future might mean something to him. That was when I started to think about his future. When I finally settled on sitting in the chair and he was starting to fall asleep I started to tell him what I hoped and wished his future would turn out. He was laying on my chest and I started to rock us back and forth and talk the rumbling of my voice in my chest must have made him fall asleep. The things that I told him was this.
"I hoped you have easy days that you can enjoy every minute of. Every road that you takes will lead to a cross road and you should follow your heart. How everything you love should mean the most to you. When one door closes in your life that you should keep going until you find the door that will open you up to the window you will find yourself in. Your smile that you give me so often could warm the coldest day of ever. But the only thing that I will forever wish for you buddy that your life becomes everything that you hope and want it to be. That no dream that you have dreamed is to big and that you should never worry. You Have completed my dreams. You will always be loved. You should always give more then you is ever given. You should never forget when you came from because I have a feeling that your gonna have a wonderful life. Always forgive and never regret because you did it for some reason right?"
That's when I noticed Bella standing in the doorway looking beautiful. She had a huge smile on her lips and tears in her eyes. I stood up with our son in my arms and walked over and gave her a kiss. She sighed contently then looked at our son. He started to stir a little so she took him from me. I kissed her again and then kissed his little head. I rubbed his little cheek with my pointer finger. When he finally opened his eyes he just started to look around and nothing. I gave a big yawn followed by a little one from him. Bella laughed at us and gave one herself. With that I kissed her head and wrapped my arm around her shoulders and led her back to the bed with our son.
