2018 letter to Jimmy
Oh this little boy. A rare photo of him solo and WITH a real smile. My middle little, you’ll never know how much I have worried and worked to make sure you never felt “the middle kid syndrome”. And this is something I will continue to do for the rest of time. You have the kindest heart and purest soul, you’ll do anything for anyone without ever being prompted or asked. This is much like your dad, the two of you have a generosity that is hard to find. You have grown up so much this year, started kindergarten and (not surprising) made many new friends. To know you is to love you. You are authentically yourself in all you do and all you say. I hope you keep this trait, you do not waiver your decision based on others opinion and that makes me very proud. Whatever you say you genuinely mean, nothing is a ‘show’ with you or to be a people pleaser. For being a six year old little boy your ability to go from wild and crazy to nurturing and paternal at the drop of a hat anytime
