My Dear Charles:
I have waited so
long and have prepared myself in hopes that I might be a parent and
raise children with love. I have so many things that I hope for you
as your father. First and foremost I want you to be happy and feel
loved. I have learned that both come through living the gospel of
Jesus Christ. You have brought so much joy to my life just in the
two months you have been here on the earth with us as your parents.
We are happy you chose us to be your parents and desire to live up to
the trust that you and God have given to us.
I want you to know
that you are a very special son of our Heavenly Father. I can feel
the gentleness and goodness within you. You have made me very happy
and proud to be your father. Your contagious smile just makes me
want to burst with laughter. I can hear you at this moment just
about to cry but not quite. It is so adorable to hear your sweet
voice. I want you to know that I will always try to be there for you
in every way. I will be there when you are sad. I will be there
when you are happy. I will be there for your successes and your
failures, your triumphs and defeats. I will try to understand you
and give you the emotional air we all so desire and need in order to
succeed in this life. Basically your mother and I hope to create a
little piece of Heaven here on Earth for you.
Some of the
fundamental things that I hope for you through your life is to
prepare to be a good husband and father; a patriarch to your family.
I hope that you will value education and seek learning throughout
your life. I hope for you to be anxiously engaged in the gospel and
have a disposition and desire to help and bless others. I hope you
will have a desire to serve a mission and preach the gospel where
ever you might be called to serve. I hope for you to find a lovely
companion to call your sweetheart and marry in the Temple. Lastly I
hope that you will be able to say that your father has blessed your
life and that you cherish the relationship you have with him. I love
you so dearly and it will be my life long goal to serve you and
demonstrate that love in a manner that would be pleasing to my
Heavenly Father. I truly cherish being your father.
With Love, Daddy
