This morning as I was at work, I was thinking of you. I wished I were at home hanging out with you. Thank God, work is not far from home so I can head back for lunch almost every day.
Cha Cha, this is the first letter of many to come that I'm going to write to you. When you're old enough, I'll print them out for you and then bind them into a book for you. Maybe this might be a wonderful 21st present for you. It'll bring back wonderful memories.
Anyway, Cha Cha, the very first thing that I want you to know is that, you're adopted. That's the truth and daddy and mummy will be the first ones to let you know. However, the reality is that God has chosen YOU to be our son. When daddy and mummy got married, we were not in a hurry to have kids. As time went on, daddy and mummy heard a call from God. As time went on, the call became louder and clearer that we are to adopt the first child. And the first child is you. Cha Cha, we prayed very hard for you. We prayed, fasted and lots of people prayed for you. We knew that no matter how many obstacles there are, how hard, difficult, long the journey to adopt, we will obey God. So the day came. You arrived into our lives. We met you on Christmas Eve. Everything fell into place.
God chose You to be in our family. You are precious. Don't ever let anyone else tell you otherwise. Your birth mum could not raise you for various reasons but God so lovingly placed you in our family. When news broke that you came into our family, everyone rejoiced! We received blessings from people all over the world. Your godparents volunteered their services. We were overwhelmed by their blessings. You'll never imagine how much people love you even before you arrive. So don't ever believe when people tell you that no one loves you and therefore you were put up for adoption. That's utter rubbish! You're loved, not just by us, but by lots and lots of people. Always remember that.
Cha Cha, we don't care if you're not academically inclined, or have bad coordination like me. Or can't cycle or swim. We don't care if you're not a doctor, lawyer or an astronaut. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you failed in your examinations. As long as you've tried your best, that's all that matters to us. But what's more important is that you become a man after God's heart. You're a friend of God. That's more important to us than anything. The day you tell us that you want to be a missionary, we'll be over the moon. Cha Cha, remember that whatever it is, you will always have our love. Our love for you never fails. It's unconditional. When life gets exceedingly difficult, remember, there's us. We will always be there for you.
Cha Cha, we're very blessed by you. Every throw up, we love you. Every time, we clean your bum, we love you. Remember that.
Love,
Mummy
