A Message To You

A message to you
my child.

I am writing this message to you - my child.
To tell you how much I love you. Listen
carefully and listen well, because one day,
I won't be here anymore.

Live your life and live it right. Do always what
is good. Help others along the way. Teach your 
children good things. Remember that, they learn
what they see.

Talk to me now if you need advice. If you wait
too long - It might be too late. I might not be 
here anymore. I am not perfact and never claimed 
to be, but I have lived in this world more then you.

Remember I love you and always will. I know about 
life more then you. If I give you advice it's for your
own good. You will find out later - that what I told you
was true. Dear child this is my message to you...

Andrea Dietrich March 3, 2013 at 12:08 AM what a wonderful message for a dear child, How many children do you have, Lucilla? You asked me about my Spanish. I majored in it at BYU but never had the chance to really "learn" it so that I could understand movies very well, stuff like that. By the way, are you from a spanish speaking country?
