Childhood to enjoy

Little one, I hope that you are happy in the warmth of your mummy's tummy today. Soon you will be out and your life journey will begin. I have been thinking about this, and it reminded me of why I started this blog. I think that I have been so wrapped up in the turmoil of the last few months, that I forgot that this is all about you, not me. So I am going to talk to you about you. Childhood is a gift, one that in some ways I wasted. Well, that's not true but if I knew then what I know now I would have done so much differently. I would have socialised with other children more, played more team games (although i was a pretty reasonable rugby player!)but more importantly allowed myself to be a child for longer. I hope that you have an idyllic childhood and get to go places and explore with the same sense of wonder that I did. The innocence of childhood is so very precious and I hope you hold onto it for many years. Peer pressure and life in general can damage that innocence and there is little that you can do about it. It is down to your mum and dad to protect you, andI am convinced they will do their best to do so. I hope that you manage to learn about being a good person. Be honourable, be kind, be generous. How you treat the weakest is the measure of your true nature. If you are my son I would want you to treat the weakest as the ones you would protect and look after. But in some ways the most important thing is to be yourself. This is the time that you will have the most freedom to be yourself that you will ever have. Use it wisely. I feel able to talk to you again and it makes me happy. Love always x
