My children,
As I begin thinking of all my desires for you, I can't help but start singing the likes of Rascal Flatts - "My Wish" and Lee Ann Womack - "I Hope You Dance." These songs are the epitome of all that I want for you in life; but above all, I pray that you learn to love yourself first and live by your faith. Herein lay my everlasting wishes for you as you grow, discover, and contribute to this turbulent, yet enchanting world we live in.

"Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality."
-Jules de Gaultier

I hope you live a life full of imagination. I know a time will come when you will want nothing more than to just grow up; but I hope that you will always remain a child at heart. The world can be so harsh at times, and it seems the only escape is to fall back to your child-like wonder and to allow your imagination to flow. Never get too old to climb trees like pirate ships or play hot lava in the living room, my fearless child. Take the time to get lost in adventures, fictional novels, and heart-warming movies full of fantasy that seem so ridiculously unrealistic, yet you wish they were true. Dare to dream of the unachievable and then make it your mission to achieve it.

"When a person tells you that you hurt them, you don't get to decide that you didn't."
-Louis C.K.

I hope you live a life full of empathy. I don't wish that you take on the burdens of everyone around you; rather, I wish that you simply seek to understand. Ignite your compassion. Extinguish your egotistical tendencies. Take the time to look at the world from different perspectives. As my own mother always said, "Treat others how you want to be treated." Be considerate and understand that you can never take back what is said. Words are not little toy guns - they are silver bullets, my dear; so hold your tongue and think about the impacts of your actions before you make your moves.

"You aren't wealthy until you have something money can't buy."
-Garth Brooks

I hope you live a life full of wealth. Not the money kind - the love kind. I always used to think that money could solve all your problems, but I was wrong. You could have all the money in the world and still be unhappy. The real wealth comes from love. You don't need a money tree, honey. You need a love tree - and I will always be at the trunk to hold you up. One day you will look at your best friend, your significant other, or your own child in the eyes and realize that love is really what makes your world go 'round. The endless, unconditional love of family and friends is all you need to stay wealthy in this world. Please, don't get caught up in worthless monetary values.

"Wherever you are, be all there."
-Jim Elliot

I hope you live a life full of precious moments. As technology takes over our world, it's rare to see anyone without a device glued to their face. So many people live on social media for attention nowadays; but I wish that you, my love, will choose to live in the moment and find your attention in the present. Be brave enough to face the world without that shield of technology. Surround yourself with good company whom makes your reality better than the meticulous compilation of altered photos that end up online, trying to convince others of their perfect life. Soak in those raw conversations, and bask in the knowledge that, indeed, you are the one actually living...
