Letter to my kids to be born

Dear Kids:

When you might read these lines, many years should have passed

Since they were written. I wish there would be not so many. On this date, you have not been born yet, and even your mamma is on doubt if some day you will be born.

This is all because I am going through difficult moments of my life, far away from my country and my family, from those who however I am proud of and I hope some day you will be as well.

This is a drawing I have already made for many children; sons, nephews, small brothers and other relatives that are here with me today. People who added their words and love and sent it to their beloved ones of those who also they are far away from.

 

That is why I wanted to keep this for you, for some day after you arrive and learn how to read and write, know why his daddy is not so young as the rest of the fathers are and learn about the years mummy and dad had to be separated in spite of loving each other a lot. Years of which perhaps I can tell more .

Love you

Dad
