Oscar,
Summer is quickly coming to an end, with it the signal
that a new season is approaching becomes all the more evident. But this time my son, I’m not talking about
fall. The season of your life going to
school stands before us. As excited as I
am for you, I am also nervous and scared.
I tremble with you on the ledge of new beginnings.
I am excited for you because school offers so many
wonderful things: new friends and endless new things to learn about. It really is an amazing time. Anything is possible, every day is an
adventure.
I’m scared because the world is imperfect, and it causes
me pause knowing that you will go forward into it.
But go into you will; running and laughing I
imagine. And that is how it should be,
unbridled enthusiasm and imagination launching itself into the world.
As you go there are a few things that I do want you to
know.
We love you, we love you in a way that words cannot
describe. Every moment that you are
away, we will be thinking of you.
As you walk into this new journey, please be kind to
everyone you come across. Kindness will
always lead you in the right direction.
Have fun in all that you do, with whatever passes through
your hands. Having fun and enjoying what
you are doing is a choice, choose to enjoy it all.
Things won’t always be easy; they won’t always go the way
you want. That is ok. It is as it should be. When things don’t go your way, hold on. Keep trying and soon they will.
We love you son.
I know that this is only the beginning of a wonderful
adventure. I can’t wait to cheer you
along every step, or help you up when you stumble. We will both be learning, and I can’t thank
you enough for the honor of being on this journey with you.
