- I love you.
- Listen first.
- You are brilliant.
- You can be a gift to everyone you meet today.
- Obey me. And your mother.
- Play your guitar and sing and dance and spin around in the floor.
- Don’t hurt your friends.
- Clean up behind yourself.
- This is our house, and we let you live here, for now.
- Your smile melts me. Usually.
- Mommy loves you more than she could ever communicate through all those hugs and kisses.
- You come from a long, beautiful history, so ask me about it any day.
- Thank you for playing quietly when you woke up so early.
- Tell me what you’re thinking.
- Pray for me.
- There are immeasurably wonderful people in the world, but there are people worth leaving.
- Bend or stretch to smell every flower you walk by.
- You’ll get to drive one day, so keep pretending for as long as possible.
- Take your fingers out of your mouth.
- Never disrespect an older person even if it makes you change.
- Chew your food before you swallow it.
- I’m sorry.
- I need those hugs you give.
- I wish you could have grown up with your grandfathers.
- I’m still learning everything.
