A Letter to my Son

No matter where you are, or where I am you will always be my baby boy. You were my first love, and that's who you always will be. Strong yet sensitive, I envy the lucky lady who earns your heart. Grab every opportunity that comes your way. Life has a lot too offer. Embrace every moment! I love YOU!

1. Treat the lady you choose to be with like your Queen, so that she will treat you like her King.
2. Learn how to cook, clean and bake. Don't depend to anyone. 
3. Don't hoot, scream or whistle outside peoples yard. Go to the door, knock on the door and ask for the person. 
4. Don't raise your voice nor your hands to any female. Even when they act crazy. Crazy is their natural state. 
5. Be a Gentlemen. You're friends might laugh at you and call you names. Who's to say they will be there years to come. Yet having a reputation as a gentlemen can take you far in life. 
6. Always look smart. People are automatically attracted to what appeals to the eyes. Keep your hair neat. Clothes cleaned and not creased. Footwear clean, and shoes shinning. Smell good, which includes proper cleaning. Shoulders back and head up. have a firm handshake. Keep smiling. 
7. Be careful who you start a relationship with. Watch out for skanky users. Also manipulative cheaters. Relationships are tough as is, Why add drama by choosing a drama queen. Also I will definitely interfere if I see you're unhappy. 
8. Put the toilet seat down, tidy up after yourself when using any room.
9. Think ahead. Following your friends or whatever trend is hot at that point could be a regret later in life. Stupid tattoos last forever. 
10. Don't be led by your hormones. Use the head on your shoulders. You will be ok.
11. Girls and be vindictive an manipulative. Watch out for the sly ones.
12. Be the kind of man you would like your own children look at one day and be proud of. That you can be proud of. 
13. "No" means No. Nothing needs to be said further.
14. Don't be the one to start a fight but certainly end it.
15. Treat woman how you expect men to treat your mother and sisters.
16. Don't sit around and watch your wife work. Get up and help her. It will make you a hero in her eyes.
17. Make sure your wife and children is your priority not friends, sport and whatever else might be your interest.
18. Take care of your house and car. 
19. Don't allow yourself to be in the middle of your mother and wife. Choosing either side, will get you in some deep trouble.

A Letter to my Daughters

You've been the spark in my life. My ray of sunshine, even on your grumpy days. As life has taught you many lesson, so you have done the same for me. Live life to the full. As you as you are blessed a new day, you have an opportunity to make change. I Love YOU!

1. Don't ever let a man define who you are, or make you feel you're any less than he is.
2. Don't compare yourself to others. You're beautiful. As long as you see yourself for who you truly are. How others see you doesn't matter at all. 
3. Always be a Lady, No need to be crass and vulgar to get your point across. You're more likely to be noticed for being gentle and graceful anyway.
4. No matter how you may feel when you wake up in the morning. Get up and get dressed, Do your hair. Dress to impress the world. You don't necessarily need to wear make up. Natural is even more beautiful. Also requires less touch ups throughout your day. Make sure to put on your beautiful smile daily. Regards what you choose to wear, you're sexy. Wearing less clothing makes you slutty. We're not going for that.
5. As soon as a man lifts he hands or raises his voice. That's your sign to be out. you're no punching bag.  
6. Don't change who you are to impress any guy. You are enough. They might not even be long term. Relationships are about accepting people as they are, not changing them to be someone else. You deserve a voice in your relationship. You're NOT stupid! 
7. There is nothing wrong NOT playing the damsel in distress. Learn to do things yourself. Handy work around the house. Car problems. Don't depend on anyone for what you can do yourself. Get comfortable with tools.
8. Know how to cook, clean and bake. With that being said, you're not a slave. So your partner will also need to step up and help where needed. 
9. Fall in love, don't marry for money or any other reason. You might regret it. 
10. Even when you're older, girls will still bad mouth you and try to bring you down to their level. It's not worth it. Don't judge or criticize other woman. Each one is gorgeous. It's not your place to judge. 
11. Don't overlook the boy next door. Especially if he is always there and stands by you in the difficult times. He might be the right one to guard your heart.
12. Being your mommy means that many arguments and disagreements lay ahead. It's okay, as long as you always remember you will always be my best friends. I will surely be the friend you can always turn to. Don't ever feel like you need to hide anything from me . 
13. Be independent, have your own house and car. No man deserves the right to throw anything in your face. It's only by God's grace we achieved what we do.
14. I have been told to look at how a man loves his own mother, I personally have found a few problems with that. As a lot of men seem to have zero respect for their own mothers. So in my opinion it would be best to simply judge by how he treats you. That is why it is so important to know your worth. You should not except any less than what you're worth under any circumstances. A good man is someone who will be an loving husband who will protect you and everyday work on proving that love to you. As well as a man who will support you in your dreams, and help out with the children. Someone you can always counts on.
15. Being smart is attractive. No guys wants to have to deal with educating you. Also it gives you amazing strength to take on any task. 
16. Less is always more, especially as far as make up is concerned. Why would you want to color in a perfect portrait. 
17. "NO" means no! You are in charge of your own body. You decide what happens to you. No one else.
18. You deserve a perfect gentlemen. 
19. Don't be a drama queen, and throw adult tantrums. You will be the only arse. 
20. Careful who you confide in. Woman can NOT keep secrets. Even those you regard as close friends. When you're much older you will figure out who your true friends are. Have a diverse group of friends. Each person has their own lessons they teach us.
21. You don't need anyone's approval. They might be the people who make you doubt yourself no matter what, best to keep on as best you can without doubt.
22. Don't let compliments go to your head and don't let criticism get you down.  
23. Pay attention to how the guy you're interested in treats others. Does he respect people? Is he kind and decent? Does he spend his time with decent friends who respect people? Does he keep his word? Does he follow through with what he starts?
24. Yes you have power over boys. This does not mean you should be manipulative and control. Respect your partner. Everyone reaches the point of enough. You might lose a good guy. 
25. Your body is going to change throughout many stages in your life. Puberty is confusing and painful. Your teen years will be the beginning of your life. Use this time to learn and grow. After you hit your twenties your body will at it's best. Having kids brings on all sorts of other changes. After this your body changes again. Running after kids brings another change. I pray that in this time you know how to juggle family and well as your own well-being. After this you're heading for menopause which provides it's own journey. Always keep in my mind, You are beautiful.
26. Having a beautiful face is one thing, more importance ensure that your heart is beautiful.
