So I promised Daddy that I wouldn't post this because he is very shy about it, but I had to post it since I posted the letter Mommy wrote me the other day. Daddy wrote his letter a couple of months ago and I've been keeping it under wraps, but now is the time to share it with the world:
AJ (my Bean),
When you were in your Mommy's belly I was so scared that I wouldn't know want to do, or that I wouldn't be a good Daddy, but the second they put you in my arms I wasn't scared anymore. I love you more than anything in the world (except Mommy, you're tied with her) and I wanted to tell you a few things:
1) You can always talk to me about anything, you never need to be scared.
2) I may yell sometimes, but remember I love you no matter what.
3) Never be afraid to tell the truth, it's better to tell the truth and deal with the consequences than to lie and have things get worse (I know this from lots of experience).
4) Always be yourself, if someone can't accept you for who you are they don't deserve to know you.
5) Always stand up for for what you believe in, no matter the consequences.
6) Never just settle, always go for what you want.
7) Never do something just because it is the popular thing to do, do it because you want to.
8) Always talk to the girl that you want to, if she turns you down she'll never know what she is missing out on.
9) Never second guess your decisions, if you decide you want to do something, do it.
10) Don't use a credit card to buy something unless you can pay it off right away (Trust me on this one).
11) Never dwell on the past, you can't change it, but you can make sure you don't make the same mistake again.
These are just a few things I've learned before you were born, we have a long journey ahead of us and I'm sure we'll learn a lot more together along the way. I can't wait to teach you all the things I know that I couldn't write in this letter. I love you!
Daddy
