Hey sweetheart,
I miss you lots. So do your sisters and your brother. Clara asks about you a lot, and of course Roxanne. Please be sure to tell her that we all miss her too and that I hope she’s doing well. When are you two coming to visit again? I’d really love to see you both sometime before you graduate. You know, I pulled out the photo albums the other day with Grandma Pattie, and we reminisced about the old days. Remember when you used to pull of your diaper and run around the house naked, and refused to allow anyone to put a new one on you? You liked your freedom then, just as much as you like it now I suppose. You were such an adorable baby, I find myself thinking about where my world would be without you Eli, and it’s hard to imagine happiness. Well, of course, I’ll have my beautiful baby girls and your pain in the butt brother, but you, you’re my first born. You were the first one the doctors gave to me because I was too tired and exhausted to hold the both of you. And I remember that day like it was just yesterday baby. I remember holding you in my arms and thinking that you were the most beautiful creation ever. That you were created from love; that you were love and that I would do everything in my power to protect you.
But I realize that I can’t protect you forever, even though I’ll try my hardest, however that may be. You are my son, if anything ever happened to you…it would kill me. But that said, I want you to know, how incredibly proud I am of you. You’re so intelligent, I know that you can make decisions on your own. And this one, about you going into the military, is incredibly noble of you. Words cannot expressed how proud I am, and thinking of your father, he’s so proud looking down on you baby. God, you’re so grown up Lijah, I have trouble looking at you as my little boy, but you will always be that. And I need you to know that no matter what you decide, I will be behind you one hundred and one percent. You’re my heart, and I never meant to make you doubt your decision. Yes, in some way a part of me begs for you not to do this, but the bigger part of me is so honored to be your mother. I was wrong, the ropes of protection pass from me to you if you decide to keep this country safe. Lord knows we need a soldier like you, who rules not only with his head but with that immense heart. You’re already protective, I have no doubt you’ll make the perfect soldier. I’m so proud of you sweetheart, I hope I didn’t for one second lead you to believe I wasn’t. As a mother, it’s only natural for me to be sad about it, but in no way, shape or form was I ever disappointed. I love you Elijah Rhys, and you remember that forever. And know that I am so proud and supportive of your decision. Whatever it may be.
Love with all my heart,
Your mother.
P.S. Tell Roxanne that Clara has one of her lipsticks, I think she may have knicked it off of her before she left the last time. At least I hope it’s hers, it looks like a shade she’s worn.
