Letter to unborn child

by Marc Carlson   Dec 3, 2006


This letter is one I am not sure how to begin, I am writing to you before you even exist. This letter is not only to help you, but to help me. You are my unborn child and no matter what happens in this life I will always love you and having love is more than one can ask for in this life. I want to raise you to be smart, strong, trustworthy, having courage, and more importantly happy and spreading joy. The man who wears a smile spreads joy and to spread joy is to be loved. Life is getting harder and harder for people and mostly children. You will face any obstacles and many people who wish you to fall, even the one you may think that they want to help you. I do not know what you will face and how much harder it will be for you that it was me. I have not been able to step up to many of these challenges and have failed. But I am finally learning that it is not whether or not you fail, but if you get up again and are defiant in the face of these obstacles willing to try again and not fail again, but be triumphant in the face of adversity. Do not worry about what you can not control and let things come to you, because good things come to those who wait. Carry yourself with pride, for you carry the one thing most important to me that I can not and will not give to anyone else, my last name. Have pride in your family, for friends may come and go, but family is forever and there love is everlasting. Throughout your life, whether or not I am around to show you my love, you will have it, in this life and the next. Take pride and be proud in coming from are family for caring, loving, and having faith are our best qualities. Your grandfather has this better than I do and so did his father, but I am getting better at it and only hope to teach you to be like the greatest man I know. That great man I know is my father, he has always been supportive for me and has shown me the way to be great father, and I only hope I can be half the man he is. I want you to not afraid and take chances on things you want for if you wait too long you might wonder what would have been, this has been my biggest fault and do wonder what might have been. But if this letter actually reaches you than I have done some thing with my life and have something to be proud of, for I will always be proud of you. In the end you get what you deserve and things usually work out for the best. I know now that you may not exist for a long time from me writing this, but that doesn't matter for I will meet you one day.

    5/5!! Love it! Sounds like me. I'm pregnant with my first child and very, very nervous. My father has supported me all my life and I want my dad in the delivery room. Everyone laughs at the thought cuz its my dad in a delivery room, but still.. I want my dad to see his grandchild, since he pretty much raised me all my life. I want the best for my child and I hope I don't have a miscarriage, and I hope for a healthy and happy child.

    Great writing. Excellent. 5/5!

    Please pray my fiance and I child will be okay.
