An Open Letter to JM

My dearest JM, 

Before you were born and the ultrasound revealed that you are a baby boy, happiness filled my heart. I had plans on what toys to buy you, plans on decorating your room, thought of  things that you would need as a baby and imagined a lot of what sort of a child you would be when you grow up. I made plans for your future and always thought that you would grow up to be a fine young man who is God fearing and well educated. You brought life, happiness and laughter in our home that used to be so quiet without you and I love you for this.  I prayed hard to God so I would  have you and made a promise to Him that when the time is right, I would glady return back all the blessings through  you that He has given me by offering you to serve the church.  And the time came. You have served our church faithfully for the past two years and your presence at every mass brought smile and happiness to every member of the congregation including the fathers and the brothers. Thank you for this.

Still I pray that when you grow up you would continue serving the church in every way possible , and may not forget that in years more to come that the Lord is always around to guide, protect and enlighten you especially in most troubled times.

Thank you my dearest son for being here with me, thank you for all the joys and happiness you have brought and continue to bring to my life.

God Bless You Always.

With Much Love,

Mom
