• Something came over me the first time I felt you. It became a bit more real that you existed. You put me through the most agonizing of pains to have you in my arms but every tear and drop of sweat I would produce ten fold to have you here. It was love at first sight. You were so small and defenseless, so tiny and frail. I counted every toe, every finger, examined you head to toe. I made you a promise to always be there and in every which way I will. With every fall and every stumble, remember you will have me there. I will hold your hand when you need it and promise to step away when not. I will raise you to be your best and teach you right from wrong. When you feel like my love is invasive remember this...... true love will be accepting yet it will always guide you to your best. You have my unconditional love. I will love you after scribbling 'Jema' on every pair of heels, smearing yet another lipstick on the wall or hearing, "I hate you" out of your mouth one day. So my little man, my little lady; remember that with the unconditional love that I offer comes the ability to hurt me more than anyone. Be kind to my heart and good to my soul the same as I promised to you a few years ago.
