Son… one day, you’ll be a man.
Right now, you fit in my arms.
You smell like safety.
You smile for no reason.
But life… life won’t always be gentle.
There will be days it feels like everything is falling apart.
Days when people expect you to be someone you’re not.
Days when you feel too small to stand back up.
Remember this:
You don’t have to be tough all the time.
It’s okay to cry.
It’s okay to be lost.
It’s okay to be scared.
Be a man who feels.
A man who loves.
A man who is kind.
That is strength.
I’m not raising a superhero.
I’m raising a human who stays true to himself.
You don’t have to win everything.
You just have to rise after every fall.
And if you ever forget who you are…
Come back to these words.
Come back to me.
I will always believe in you.
You are my reason, my strength, my heart outside my body.
I love you.
One day, you’ll understand…
When you hold your own child in your arms. ❤️
