Dear Future Grandchild
I’m
writing you this letter at time when I don’t even know if I’m one of your great
grandparents were so happy give your life and have you be a part of our family. Hopefully, you will never have to experience
the likes of what I’m experiencing today with new pandemics and the lack of
resources. I want to you to be able to
enjoy life, yet I want to you to learn from your experiences. I want to impart
a important few words to help you in life and that is always be true to who you
are. In fact, it took me a lot of years to adhere to this advice. I was born into the wrong body. Yes, my grandchild, I am diabetic (hopefully
you have never heard that before). I
didn’t understand what I was going through when I was younger and it was
something I had to learn to live with.
People, especially children, can be cruel and blatantly hurt your
feelings I face many cases of children picking on me for my disease because
they did not understand it. With that
said never let those that wish to hurt you through words break your character
for the ability to stay true yourself in such hatred will make you a better
person.
My next
lesson to you grandchild is that learn to look at the world from multiple angles.
The world is not black and white, it is in fact made up of many shades of grey
each with there own stories to tell and things to explore. Do not fear the unknown
just because you do not know it, learn from it and become a better person for
it and cherish what you find and learn. Every day is different that’s what the today
is called a present so love that present and spend your time doing what you
love.
Lesson
three is to maintain love for everyone including your enemies. You will learn to coexist with people and
sometimes you may not agree with on things or like as a person and that is okay
but never hold hate in your heart because like poison it eats away at you.
Always show proper respect to people even if they are the ones you hate but don’t
take this the wrong way you do not have to pretend to be there friends you merely
afford them the right to respect as fellow human beings and if they can’t do
the same for you then realize you are a better person then they are.
The fourth
lesson has to do with your molars in life. They will always differ to other
people but always remember that love is universal and being a good human being
is less about always following the rules but understanding that right and wrong
sometimes come from the heart. Whether you believe in a higher power or not just
remember to always live your life with honor, and pride so that at the end of
the day no one can say you did less than the last person. Take pride in being a
person you can say is an amazing human being and treats everyone the same no
matter the belief they have or race they may be. Be better the generation that
came before you because you are the future and one day you will have to teach
your children and grand children what that means to be the future and if you
remember these lessons you will succeed in doing just that.
The last
lesson is an easy one because if you have been paying attention it would come natural
to you. Listen to those that want to help you, it sounds easy but trust me it isn’t.
Its very easy to brush over those that may be older or don’t fully understand the
world you are in now but just because they may not keep up with the marching of
time doesn’t mean they cant impart wisdom on to you that you can use to succeed
in your life. They are here to make sure you have the foundation to attack life
with the right mindset and beat all the odds that come against you. Take the
words to heart and hold to them for when these people are gone, they can no
longer impart more wisdom upon you and are left with the few they spoke to you.
Remember Honor, Love, Pride, and Wisdom are the core principles to live by to be
a better person.
Love Grandpa
