i want to raise a boy that is actually a man
who can work on a car and fix the bathroom sink
i want to let him be someone he can love
to like who he sees in the mirror.
to smile in the worst of times.
to hold the door open.
to hold her hand.
to love with all he has
a boy that knows how to cook and do laundry
that appreciates women
a man with respect and pride
that knows the value of hard work
that is a cuddler
a man who can laugh at himself
that knows the power of truth
who appreciates music
that giggles like his daddy on christmas and can still be a child
who stands up for others and has empathy
who is curious enough to explore his own beliefs
that will listen first
that will do good and be good
most of all i want him to be happy.
I hope we are up to the task and that he knows we will be there
everyday
My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give to another person, he believed in me. -jim valvano
