Birthday Nugget for my Son

Dear Prince,

My eldest child, you are now 14 years old (September 11), I am happy to see you grow into your own man.  I am happy to hear your thoughts and conviction.

First, let me throw it out there.  This is not a "Safehaven" movie kind of thing, where the mother, who died early due to cancer writes a letter for her 2 kids for special occasion.  I will not die anytime soon, I still have a long way to go. It's just that, sometimes, teens are getting annoyed through formal "one-on-one coaching/mentoring technique", thus I am innovating - "parenting through blogging". Yes, I just made that up just now, but it sounds good, so I might go with it as theme of this blog.

Growing up, I have my own qualms and issues. I have so many questions to ask the world.  And it was not until I had you that some were answered; that I found myself.  Through prayer and books, and through my mentor Dr. Rita Gatuslao, I was able to find myself.

Just as she shared with me her book entitled The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz - I am doing it with you and Psalm, eventually.
