Dear son,

It’s me – your father. You probably won’t know me by name for the first months, but you can always refer to me as, “Dad”.

I have yet to meet you, but my excitement grows more and more as time is getting closer and closer. You are just a few months away and it cannot come sooner.

I just want to fill you in on a few things, so you are ready and prepared to be a member of our little family and life in general.

  1. Don’t take things for granted. Always say thank you (and mean it). Be respectful and life will be awesome. Trust me. I have years of experience.
  2. Your mother is your idol. Don’t ever overlook that. She has carried you for 9 months of her life. She will love you unconditionally (as will I) and give you everything you’ve ever wanted. This goes back to #1. Don’t be a smart-ass like your father. Learn by example!
  3. Be yourself. Don’t ever try to fit a mold or be something you are not. You will see that you will make more out of life and enjoy it more when you are your own person. I will accept you no matter what and love you no matter what.
  4. Be ready for fishing. If you like it or not, you WILL like it. I really am only kidding, but I look forward to hopefully having a fishing buddy. If you don’t enjoy it – that’s okay. Just don’t get sucked into video games (too much). It’s bad for your eyes and personality.

There will be many more things I will add to this list, but I look forward to giving more and more advice (good or bad).

I can’t wait to meet you…very soon!

Love,
Dad
