As I stare at the life of what was made, my heart rejoices, the new teachings of life that grasps on to us as we shed happy tears. My love for my child is beyond what any could ever imagine; each moment cherished and every memory put away to remember when my hair grows gray. So intelligent and happy all the time and the precious babbling; one cannot express just how much I hold my son dear to my heart. I made a promise to him that I would protect him from those that intend to hurt him on purpose. I want him to learn responsibility; to be the man that is able to do it on his own. I don't want him growing up thinking everything is just gonna be handed to him. I want him to earn his way and to be humble. I want him to be able to enjoy the simple pleasures in life; I also want him to learn that happiness cannot be bought. 

Today, my son, you turned three months old. You are the apple of my eye and the reason for all that I do. Your smile, laugh, babbling, and cuddles....are far more precious to me than all the money in the world I could possibly win. 'Cause money cannot buy the happiness or pride that I feel to know that you are my son. I love you dearly more than life itself. I feel blessed because you are the greatest gift I could ever receive and no matter what you do in life....I will love you and be there for you whenever you need me.
