Life's too short to moan isn't it?
Blink and you will miss the wonderful world that is around your life is for living after all its not a rehearsal and your life is like the London 2012 is a legacy for all. So it might be raining , the bankers have all our money you've burnt your toast again. So stop feeling like the superb film that is 'Wonderful life ' and how the world would cope without you are just get on with living!.
Like the Olympians that have thrilled us with their humbling humanity who just get on with their lives.
You might not be everyone cup of tea so what if you could go back in time what would you write to your sixteen year old self . What would be your legacy of life?
Well this is my sons letter to his sixteen year old self . You know the drill the sort of letter you would write to your sixteen year old self. He is only thirteen and his letter is very in depth and very humbling. Its something that we as adults could learn from. To often we are cliched about teenager, how they are too angst and likening them to Kevin and Perry. And when we try to talk to them a tumbled weed bounces through the room.
Its frightening to see my son feels at times how I felt at his age and still feel at times. So its time to give him a positive legacy for the challenges of life that he will face. All he needs to know is that he will not be alone when he does so.
So I from now on put my confident boots on and leave my "worry boots" behind.

*sob* I think that letter might have broken my heart a little - but lovely at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAwww your son sound an amazing young man what a brave and mature Letter. It is very interesting to gain such an insight into a 13year olds mind isnt it? A little sad too xx
ReplyDeleteGosh how mature your son's words are - this is very honest and touching and almost tear inducing! I'm sure you're very proud of him xxx
ReplyDeleteHe writes so well, and sounds so much more mature than 13. It made me feel sad though to think people are horrid to him, but once he leaves school and goes to uni maybe, I'm sure he will shine. I think he's amazing, and from the pictures I've seen, he's very good looking too, his future girlfriend will be a very lucky lady xx
ReplyDeletewhat an amazing letter a very mature head on young shoulders - you must be very proud of him @kikicomp

ReplyDeleteThat's amazing. I'm going to get my boys to do that when they're older.
ReplyDeleteWow this is a fantastic letter from a very mature lad! what a #magicmoment to see how well you have raised your boy into a strong independent individual with a very bright future ahead!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with #magicmoments x
What a wonderful letter, I can't believe that he's only 13. Something to treasure!
ReplyDeleteAww I hate to think of people being picked on. And he IS beautiful to look at, you tell him that from me. He's an incredible human being.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, ill come and meet him soon :) xx
What an amazing letter to have written I hope it will help him.
ReplyDeleteIt's odd, isn't it, I somehow accept 'us adult' writing these letters but it feels even more wounding to think of a teenager doing the same. I guess that's because, well for me, I remember how tough those years were, filled with both maturity and immaturity in different levels. And yet, reading this, I feel I have underestimated my recollection.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a teenager life seemed so much easier and simpler. I worry for my own children.
ReplyDeletegive the worry boots away instead of taking them off lovely! how fantastic that your son is to in touch with his feelings!
ReplyDeleteWow what an amazing young man, I want to high five him x
ReplyDeleteOh bless him, I would have cried if that was my lads letters. I would never write one to my 16 year old self, as everything I have been through has made me who I am
ReplyDeleteWow, that is an amazing letter for a 13 year old. What a lovely boy - I predict amazing things for him!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing letter - you must be a very proud Mum x x
