Hello my DEAR, my son

This is a special day, it’s your Birthday. This is not just day special for you, it is special day for all of us. I’m writing this letter to you… I could have just pulled you on the couch and tell you all, but I know that you will dismiss me too fast by saying “I know”. It’s funny when every time I say “Do you know how much I love you?” you quickly reply “ I know”, and I laugh, I laugh, because I don’t think you do, I don’t think you can comprehend how much I’m trying to say with this “I love you” (thingy mugigy) to you. Because when I think about you, I always compare you to myself …. At the same age… and now I know, I did not understand it when my mom was saying to me “I love you” I knew that I was the “premium” person in her live, but I did not know how much she was trying to tell me. At the same time who am I to decide what you know or not, you are the most intelligent young men I ever knew!
And today I want to tell it all , be ready….. just kidding (there will be some mushy stuff though). Mishen’ka, way before you came to this world, there was a decision to be made, if I try to have you I would be playing with my life, otherwise I would have no children at all. I knew, I knew there was something amazing there… there.. inside of me… I knew that it was YOU, even before you were born…. And it was worth it.
My dear Misha, when you were little I used to call your name, just for you to raise your eyes at me, it meant the world… I would drown in your eyes. You are the most sagacious and smart person I’ve ever met.
If everyone is born to the sole purpose as to give something back to this world, with bringing you to this world , I feel I’ve given it something extraordinary, YOU!. You are the most genuine person I’ve ever knew, the size of your heart can cover the whole world.
My love, even when I reprimand you ( I don’t want to do it, but..) I’m not trying to point at any faults of your, no, not at all… I just want you to avoid some of the painful situations that I directly used to go into, and getting over it was not too easy. You are perfect the way you are. You have the most genuine heart, it is bigger than the world. You are one of the best people I’ve ever met and I’m not talking as your mother, I’m talking to you as a friend. Anything you decide to do with your life, I will be behind you, I will support your decisions. This will come easy to me, because I trust you, because I know what it is inside of you. Just always know how much I love you. It’s that overwhelming feeling that is very hard to contain, it’s bigger than the world. And I’m very proud of you and of who you are becomming!
