I know you may grow up sooner than your peers, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Because of your brother, I hope you can by-pass some of the shallowness that comes with youth.
Things won’t always be fair. I will try my best to settle the score, but your brother’s extra needs will at times take more of my time. My loves, life isn’t fair, but know my love for you burns just the same.
You have the secret to life right in front of you: Life isn’t all about you and when you make your life about others, you get so much more in return.
I hope you teach each other to love, to love all people, and to love them well.
Love,
Mom
