My Son Taught Me To Really Love
If I tried to list the reasons why I love you, I don’t think they would ever end. However, I sketch in a few lines some of the whys: I love you son because you breathe, because you smile, because you open your eyes and already hug me, because you look at me like no one else in this world, because you were inside me and now I can touch you, because you’re a little bit of your father and me; I love simply because you exist, because you are real and present in my life.
How can I not love you, my son, if with you I discovered a new world? Tenderness, passion, security, confidence, joy and even fear now have another meaning. Now, I feel different, stronger and more passionate.
I discovered with you that there is no mountain high enough, that there are no tests or obstacles to stop me . You are my strength, the impulse that helps me get through it all.
to love is to give
In my chest you will find all the warmth and nourishment you need. From there also comes all the love you generate in me. And I swear this whole immense feeling is for you. I am in this world to give you what you need. I want you to know that in my chest you can always find all the comfort, security and shelter you need. No matter how much you’ve grown and how many paths you’ve come, my love for you will never end.
That’s my love for you, without any kind of condition. And I don’t have requirements and I don’t expect anything more than to love, because with you I discovered that giving is more gratifying than receiving. I found that loving is more important than being loved. Even though true love like ours is a perfect relationship that thrives even more with your sweet smiles and graceful gestures. Just by smelling your sweet scent, I feel strong to fight the world if that’s what it takes.
I never get tired of looking at you, son. You are like a miracle before my eyes. It is your light that invites me to get out of bed every day. It’s what gives me strength to give my best every day, what encourages me to review my personality and learn how to be virtuous so that I can set good examples.
true love gave meaning to my life
When you were born, you made me witness and participate in the most prodigious miracle I have ever witnessed: life. From the moment you were conceived, your father and I discovered a different meaning to our lives. You made us transcend and thanks to you we are other people.
And even if now you laugh and sleep peacefully in my lap, I know the day will come when I can no longer hold you in my lap like now. Still, I want to make it clear that there will always be room for you in my arms.
At this moment I also understand that I must change, that I have the important mission of teaching what love is and how to love. I thank you for existing because you are my teacher, you are the one who teaches me every day to truly love.
Thanks to you, every day I learn to be more generous, patient, sweet, kind, caring and honest. The truth is that every day I rediscover these virtues in others, in the world around us.
And this is the world I want to show you. Even if you are my precious baby I know that one day you will go away. That’s why I’m striving for you to be a good man, a man who knows love and who knows how to give affection.
My mission is to give all the love in the world for you to give back.
The world is yours, my son. You will enjoy it, I’m sure of it. You will have the opportunity to find thousands of wonders because your spirit of adventure, the same as your father and I have, will invite you to explore every inch. Thus, you will also learn that there is love in every child, woman, man and old person, no matter how hidden. I’m sure you’ll see why you learned from me and your father, people who love you every second.
