I want you to be children. I will spend much more time knowing you as adults so right now and for many years to come, I want you to just be kids. For as long as possible I will let you be children and I will protect your childhood with all that I am. I will let you decide when you are ready to try new things and I vow to let you play for hours. I will let you play for hours as often as possible! I will help you discover who YOU really are and I will do my best to guide you in the path God has set before you before you are pushed out into this BIG wide world on your own. I will let you explore, take your time, ask questions, dream, imagine, laugh, pretend, climb and run wild through the house. I will let you be children and never wish this precious time away. It will happen all too soon and you will be grown up. You will have real worries, fears and problems to face. But for now, I want you to be a child and I will protect your childhood.
Love,
Mommy
"I will spend eternity knowing my children as adults. But tonight, right here, right now, and for the next precious years, I have the rare privilege of knowing them as a child. What a gift to experience the children in our lives as children! For a brief moment during the journey of mortality, we get to watch them laugh, learn, experience and grow."
