My Darling Daughter,
I wish I could tell you that life’s journey will always be smooth sailing. Truth be told, it is not, it has never been and it will never be. That’s why you must gird your lions at an early age and determine for yourself that as you journey through life – its unexpected twists and turns, successes and failures, joys and pains – you will keep on moving and never give up on life and living.
Yes, some of the situations you will encounter in life will prove intricate, confusing, and painful sometimes. That is life my dear. The important thing is not to be discouraged when faced with life’s many curve balls.
The situations you encounter may sometimes be scary and leave you feeling that you’ve reached the end of your tether and can’t take it anymore. When things get this way, have the good sense to reach out for help and the wisdom to take it when it’s offered. This way, you can avoid being overwhelmed. No person is an island and no one knows it all. We should nurture genuine friendships and relationships, which we can fall back on when the going gets tough.
Seeking for help when we need it is not a weakness.
Stay blessed.
Love you always,
Dad
