Dear Kids,

Mom here with some tidbits on life.
Remember...No Matter what you do, where you go or who you become I will ALWAYS love you! I might get angry with something you have done but I still love you. Consequences come with your actions and you should accept them with your head held high and also learn from them. Women are a complicated gender which I imagine no person will EVER figure out. If a woman comes into your life that you have a "fancy" for, treat her with love, honesty, respect and like she is the only thing that matters to you in this world. Don't hurt her just in spite. You are equals in life and NO woman is too good for you and you are no better than any. There will be many not suitable for you and visa versa but that's it you are still equals. God has chosen the perfect woman for you so chose wisely who you marry, imagine you you missed the one God had picked for you and you married the wrong woman, imagine how hard that marriage will be, how difficult it would be because you are fighting God's will for your life?!
Never stop dreaming, Don't ever grow up, don't give up hope and always keep smiling even at the worst of times. Take time to remember the good times and always embrace the bad. Smile at everyone crossing your path because smiles are contagious and everyone needs a lift sometimes. Try not to use the word "hate" it is such a strong word and usually used too loosely and not usually meant to be said.
ALWAYS walk around with your head held high, even if it's faked, no one else will know the difference. Have pride in everything you do and the outcome will always show it.
Remember the ones who love you, remember the ones who you love and do not surround yourself with ones who dwell on the negative they'll only bring you down. ALWAYS remember who you are and where you come from. Don't change for anyone but yourself and even if you do change, remember your roots and they will never change so you will always be able to return.
Laugh at the stupid things, don't cry over the petty, don't build up anger it is not good for the soul. Try not to yell in front of children they are too innocent to be exposed to that kind of pain and they will learn enough cruelty from this world in enough time, they just need to be kids.
Don't let your friends influence you make your own choices in life. whether good or bad they are your own choices and they make you who you are, you are only human and allowed to make mistakes and you will suffer the consequences. Take risks! That is what life is all about, you risk getting out of bed each day so why not push yourself to your own limits safely. Why live vicariously through other people's lives and stories, create your own for others to wish for.
Money isn't everything unless you make it that way and material things take over. Value life not valuables. Store your riches in Heaven not on earth.
If you don't play the lottery don't say"I wish I could win the lottery" Rules are you can't win if you don't play, life is like that is all I am saying, don't actually play the lottery! Life is too short live each day to the fullest. Don't expect other's to do for you when you don't do for others, also don't expect other to do for you what you can do yourself! If you go around saying life sucks, this sucks, I suck then Life WILL suck,It WILL suck, you WILL suck. BUT if you go around saying life's great, this is great, I am great, than Life IS great, It IS great, YOU ARE great!! I will Love you forever and ever no matter what till the ends of the Earth and back!!!

Love
Mom.
