Journaling: We have this little tradition, Linc. I wonder sometimes how long it will continue and if you will remember it as you get older. I tell you I love you pretty much a hundred times a day but quite often you will reply and ask me ever so cheekily if you are my ‘favourite son-shine’. Pun fully intended. I don’t know when it started or even how it came about but I love it. I love the sweet but cheeky grin you give me when you ask. And of course I always reply that you are my favourite ‘son-shine’ just like I tell Poppy that she’s my ‘best, favourite girl’. You really are a shining, happy ray of sunshine though, Linc. I tell myself every single day how lucky I am to be your Mum. I am so proud of you and I love watching the young man you are growing into. You are one of the most selfless people I know. You are always, always thinking of people’s feelings. All you want is for everyone to be happy. You radiate empathy and it amazes me how at such a young age you can so easily see all sides of a story and put yourself in other’s shoes. A lot of adults can’t seem to even do that! You told me recently that you want to be a doctor just so that you can help make sick people better. You just want the world to be a better place for everyone and gosh I love you big time for it. Please don’t ever change! 25 March, 2021
This is really a wonderful message to your son-shine, Trace. I am so impressed how you fit a long journal text on the page plus make room to add so many embellishments and a couple of adorable photos, too.
