Z,

Ugh what can I say? Right now I’m happy and just so proud of you. You are such an amazing little boy I swear I’m the luckiest person in the world because God chose me to be your daddy. We fight one another we play with one another we say sorry, we cuddle but most importantly we love each other.

Z you’re asleep right now with mommy, you woke up hella late today like 10:45am but you did wake up early and then crashed out. You tell mama no more work mama no more work and no more school no more school. I’m like hell nah you going to school boy! You are talking so much and just maturing and growing everyday. It’s amazing and I’m just happy for you. I pray for you every day and every night. I pray that you are a happy baby and that you find the little voice that’s inside you so you can share your thoughts and ideas with the world.

Everything is good papa, your cousins came and visited you from the 209 and it was nice. I wish we lived in the 209 or a little closer so that you can play with your cousins and see grandma and grandpa more. I know your Tia Lolie would spoil you like crazy. Your grandma loves you so much and I want you to keep in touch with your cousins when I’m no longer here because I know that’s what Grandma would want and that’s what I want. Family is family and we may all not be on the same page but I love all of my cousins and I wish I could see them more and keep in contact but it’s hard when you grow up and start a family. I know my Grandma Anna would be happy if the family all got together again and spent some time together. Sorry I got distracted! Anyways Boo Boo, Gavin, Nico and Sachie came out and played with you at Chuck E Cheese. It was cute, Grandma had to leave early cuz she’s old and can’t drive in the dark so when everyone left you wanted to jump in the car with them and I said no cuz we had to go home you cried and cried and that broke my heart because I know you love them and just want to hang out and be a kid. Maybe this weekend you will go to the 209 and you can see them and all of your other cousins.

Z I love you and more then anything want for you to be a good boy, be respectful and to always remember where you come from. We ain’t poor and you ain’t gonna live a poor life or ever go with out but I don’t want you to be some spoiled ass kid making poor choices. Be good and remember everything that mommy and daddy have taught you. We love you and are so proud of you.

Love you to infinity and beyond!

Love,

Daddy
