Dear Alexander...

I may not be the best mother in the world, but I will try my hardest for you. I will give you everything I have as a mother, all the wisdom, guidance, happiness, love that a mother can give to her child. I will make mistakes, I'm human. I will ask you to forgive me, and I will hope you forget them. I will punish you when you do something wrong and I will NOT enjoy it. It will kill me to take away any joy and happiness from you, but it's all part of the learning process.

We'll learn together, Alexander. I don't have this parenting thing down. I don't know what I'm doing. I just know that I'll love you unconditionally. There is nothing you can do that will make me deny you as my son. I would gladly give you my life to make you happy. I will sacrifice everything that I have and that I am to give you everything you deserve. You don't know this, but you deserve the world. You deserve all the love in the world.

My wish for you is to grow up and to find your place in the world. To find out what God has intended for you to do. I pray that you find a woman that will complete you, a job that will fulfill you and a relationship with God that will be everlasting. You don't have to be a CEO to be successful. You've got all the opportunities in the world ahead of you, I just want you to take advantage of them. All I want is for you to be happy. And I will try my hardest, my life, my everything to help you get there. I love you, son. I will always love you. No matter what you do, no matter where you are, your mother will always love you.

With love,

Mom
