Words for My Sons

My Dearest Sons,

Last night as you slept, your father and I watched our country make history. Far away from our country we hope and pray for your future and we do everything on our part to ensure that it is bright, safe and rewarding. So to be able to tell you both this morning that we have a new President-elect who inspires many to believe that all things are possible and is proof of just that fills our hearts.

It is the micro and the macro together that I as a parent cope with each and every day. I worry about the mice running around the house and the current economic crisis; I hope you learn your letters and numbers with ease and I hope you make a difference in the world through the work you do; I want to be a daily role model for you and surround you with many others who will influence your morals and ideals. I want the best for you.

Think of all that inspires you, keep it close to your heart and let it always guide you. It is all within your reach if you remain true to yourself.

All my love,

Mami
