Parents’ blessing will play a great part in the growth of their children. My father wrote me a valuable letter before his death, one part of which always
36 . “I know you will do
37 great that will set you among the very best one day in the future.”
Since I first read his
38 at 12, they have lived in my heart.
39 ,I knew that my dad’s believing in me gave me permission to believe in
40 . “You will do something great.” He didn’t know
41 that would mean, but whenever I felt
42 of myself, I remember my father’s words, and
43 he were here, so I could ask, “Is this what you were
44 about, Dad?”
Many years have passed, and I believe that my father
45 have been proud when I
46 from basic training and became a rescue swimmer. Lately, I’ve come to realize he’d want me to move
47 to what comes next: to be proud of, and believe in someone else.
Yes, it’s time to all of us to
48 writing our own letters to our children. They look to us with the same
49 . “Is this it, Daddy? Am I doing fine?” It’s why every child growing up says, “Watch me!” Our children don’t
50 because they are not afraid to fail. They are only afraid of failing
51___.
Remember to give your children
52 to succeed. If you don’t have children, then write a letter to someone who
53 you. They are waiting for you to believe in them. Trust me, love will be
54 real and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts: “
55 ! You will do something great.” Not having that blessing from someone they love may be the only thing holding them back.
