Letter to Asher 072509 (First Bruise Booboo)

You surely had several booboos already in the past. Mostly bumps (due to bad falls) on the head leaving you loudly wailing in shock and pain. But last Saturday, you experienced your first ever bruise. You were running so fast on the street that you stumbled and got your knee scraped because of your sudden fall on the rough road. Well, it was nothing serious. In fact, you didn't cry at all and you simply shrugged off the dirt on your hands and the little pain you felt. You were aware of your little bruise on your knee that you just kept on staring at it. What I want you to know is that, it's just okay and alright to get hurt at times. I know I promised that I will always protect and shelter you from harm. But there are times in life, my son, that we all have to undergo pain because it is from them that we realize the lessons in life. We need to occasionally falter because that is where we'll learn how to stand up, face and deal with life bravely.

Basta don't worry my son, Mommy will always just be here to kiss those booboos away.

Xoxo,
Mom
