Hayden,
Congratulations on being 12! Wow, your 11’s are over and after this year you will officially be a teenager.Happy Birthday boy! I’m so excited for you.
Last night at the dinner table I told you about how clearly I remember the day before you were born.I sat in front of that fireplace in our very first house in Rowlett, Texas, in 1996 and cried my eyes out before God.I cried because potentially, something could have been wrong with you, but even more than that, I believe I cried out to him because of the gift he was giving me.You are incredibly special Hayden Davis.You will make your mark on the world in amazing ways.I’ve always known that.I’m glad to be your father.
The gifts you receive today will give hints(暗示) of our first big trip that will take place in January.Every quarter there will be a special, secret trip you and I will take up.Many times you won’t know what’s to come; I want you to trust me.Trust that I’m doing what’s right for you and planning events that will be memories for years to come.
Every month I will sit down with you and talk to you about what it takes to live in this world and how to navigate life in a good way.And during these months my closest friends will teach you the most valuable lessons they’ve learned in life.They will also become your friends and confidants (知己).
I will always believe in you and I’ll always be right by your side cheering you on through each and every stage of your life on this Thanksgiving Day.I couldn’t be more thankful to have you in my life.
I love you!
