5 Things I Want My Kids to Know:

1. I will love you no matter what else happens.
2. You were wanted from the moment we knew you were on the way.
3. You are not the most important person in the whole world, but you are the most important star in our sky.
4. God loves you. God made you the way you are for a reason. Your job is to find the reason and do it.
5. You will do stupid things. The worst thing you can do is to keep doing stupid things without learning to change.

5 things you want to tell your child when they grow up:

1. Go with your gut. Trust but verify. Be willing to love, but don't be a doormat.
2. Do the right thing. If you don't know what that is, don't do anything until you pray it over. In other words, WTFWJD?
3. Yes, we know you need therapy. Think of it as entertainment for your middle- and old-age.
4. Some Lots of people are going to treat you like shit. You aren't. Try not to repay in kind. Remember, everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. Don't add to it.
5. I love you almost as much as God does.

5. Would it kill you to visit me at the cemetery in awhile?
