Second Lesson [To my unborn son]

Real men give hugs.

That my son, is the best advice you’ll ever get;

I took years to realize that true strength comes through vulnerability,

That’s how you realize who you are, and what you’re capable of.

So love my son, love those you meet, love them for who they are

-Not what they do

-Not what they’ve achieved

-Not whatever title they have

True love is unconditional. Don’t bother wasting time with subterfuge.

(You may need to look that up)

There’s no crime in being yourself;

There are those who will love you,

Those who won’t

At the end of the day, who needs to be in your life will be.

So smile, lad. I’m making my mistakes so you don’t have to.

So live every moment meaningfully,

Live without prejudice

-You’ll never know why someone is the way they are.

And at the end of the day remember.

REAL men give hugs.
