Luke, since the day I became your dad, you have been one of my greatest sources of light and warmth. I am grateful that you are my son, and thank you for being my sun, too. Keep on shining your way through life, and always know that I will always love you. Happy birthday, Luke. – Love, Dad
Whatever you do and however you do it, know that you are always on your spiritual path. Remember, everything is part of the path. Remember, everything is sacred.
You can see life as empty and unfulfilling, as barren pages in a closed book, or… you can choose to see each new moment as an empty page, an empty page in an open book, a book full of pages and pages that are just waiting to be filled with life.
Being a good parent does not mean being a perfect parent, and being imperfect means we always have opportunities to grow… and what a wonderful thing that is.
You can learn a lot from losing. You don’t learn much from winning. But here’s the secret, you can learn from losing in the 1st quarter, from losing in the 2nd quarter, and from losing in the 3rd quarter. You don’t have to wait until the end of the 4th quarter to do your learning. You can lose, learn, and still win.
17 years ago today, my baby was born… I loved you before you were born. I loved you the day you were born. I have loved you every day since. I love you today. I will love you every day and every year after this one. My love for you is eternal. No matter how many times we travel around the sun, no matter how many times we celebrate your birthday, you will always be my baby. Happy birthday, Cheyenne.
