7 Wishes for my Son

Today marks the one year anniversary of the day I found out I was expecting. Everything pretty much changed since that day. I spent my days dreaming about the baby I would have. I imagined what he or she would look like. When I found out I was having a boy, I thought about the importance of raising a son. The important role I play in the kind of man he will be. Now my sweet baby boy is here. Of couse if it were up to me, he would never know heart ache, never get hurt, never grow up in fact. If i could whisk him away to Never Never Land and keep him a baby forever, that is exactly what I'd do. But instead I am putting down 7 wishes i have for my son in his life. 7 things I hope make up that man he becomes.

My wishes for my son..
  
1.) that he will have a kind heart and that he will embrace others without judgement
2.) that he will choose good friends and know lots of laughter and adventure
3.) I hope that he will grow up strong, healthy, confident and capable 
4.) I hope that he will be loyal to his family and to his friends
5.)  that he has an open mind and a humble heart
6.) I hope that he knows REAL love in his life. 
7.) I hope that he grows up to be just like his dad.. and just as hilarious.
