A Letter to My Future Son

Dear son,

I was not ready when you came into my life. I am still not ready. But I am willing.

I cried one thousand tears before I knelt down and uttered thank you for your life, and the ability to give you life — for even this was uncertain to me.

I was so afraid. I felt there was still so much to see, to do, to be, to write.
