Dear Collin,
Hey best buddy its daddy happy 4th birthday! I love you! Were you a good boy today? You are my Stinky Boy!!
When you came to us, it was unexpected we thought there would be no more after you. We wanted more kids, and I had hoped that maybe someday I might have a son. I need you to know some things son about me just a few thoughts I have. I don't expect you to understand right away, but someday when I am no longer here you might find these words and remember.
Always love others, even when they hate you
Show compassion whenever possible there are billions of people on this planet,
Be slow to anger, you cant take back the words after you speak them
Quick to help, if you can volunteer do so
Look someone in the eye and listen to them, even if you don't agree
Don't be scared to stand up for what you believe in, but be willing to listen (listening is a theme you will be made aware of alot during your life) to what they have to say, nobody gets anywhere by yelling your wrong and walking away.
Mommy and I are going to mess up alot, be patient because you will to :-)
Love your sissys, they will knock out the bullies
Whatever happens today, ends tomorrow (easy to say hard to do)
Praying never hurts
Your heart will be broken but...(see above) you will get through it
Love and respect your mother for she loves you and takes care of you in ways that I can not.
Don't worry if you don't have the best stuff, everything breaks eventually
Don't be afraid to be wrong
There are true friends out there...you will need to be a friend to find them (after all you are named after one of them :-)
There is one friend above all I want you to know and that is Jesus, when you have questions I will do my best to answer them.
We have more adventures ahead I know, and I cant wait! I love you son, thank you for loving me
