Amazed

Everyday I am amazed at how wonderful my son has made my life. How much life and happiness he brings me.

There is so many things that I want for my son, so many things that I try to give him every day. I want him to be independent and strong. I want him to be assertive and intelligent. I want him to be forgiving and kind. I want him to be adventurous, yet cautious. I want him to want everything out of life. I want him to be able to find his partner in life and be able to love them forever. I want him to be loyal and caring. I want him to be free of guilt and regret. I want him to learn from his mistakes. I want him to have the best life that I can imagine.

So, my question to you and to myself every single day is, How do I do that? How do I make sure that I give him all of the tools that he needs to make his life a great one? How do I not scar him in the process? How do I be that mother I never had, and always yearned for? How do I do that?
