What I want him to know

That he was loved from the moment we knew he existed.

That that love will never change.

That we are trying to do our best by him, and we apologize beforehand for all the times we are sure to screw up.

That stories matter, and the story one chooses to live out of changes everything.

That our great calling is "to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly before your God" (Micah 6:8)

That that calling is difficult.

That following Christ is worth it even when it seems like it might not be.
