Paul Harvey Writes:

We tried so hard to make things better for our
kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren,
I'd like better.
I'd really like for them to know about hand me
down clothes and homemade ice cream and leftover
meat loaf sandwiches. I really would.

I hope you learn humility by being humiliated,
and that you learn honesty by being cheated.
I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow
the lawn and wash the car.
And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new
car when you are sixteen.

It will be good if at least one time you can see
puppies born and your old dog put to sleep.

I hope you get a black eye fighting for
something you believe in.

I hope you have to share a bedroom with your
younger brother/sister. And it's all right if you
have to draw a line down the middle of the room, but
when he wants to crawl under the covers with you
because he's scared, I hope you let him.

When you want to see a movie and your little
brother/sister wants to tag along, I hope you'll let
him/her
I hope you have to walk uphill to school with
your friends and that you live in a town where you
can do it safely.

On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I
hope you don't ask your driver to drop you two
blocks away so you won't be seen riding with someone
as uncool as your Mom.

If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches
you how to make one instead of buying one.
I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read
books.

When you learn to use computers, I hope you also
learn to add and subtract in your head.

I hope you get teased by your friends when you
have your first crush on a boy/girl, and when you
talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory
soap tastes like.

May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn
your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a
frozen flagpole.

I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope
you don't like it. And if a friend offers you dope
or a joint, I hope you realize he is not your
friend.

I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with
your Grandma/Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle.

May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during
the holidays.

I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a
baseball through your neighbor's window and that she
hugs you and kisses you at Hannukah/Christmas time
when you give her a plaster mold of your hand.

These things I wish for you - tough times and
disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me,
it's the only way to appreciate life.

Written with a pen. Sealed with a kiss. I'm
here for you. And if I die before you do, I'll go
to heaven and wait for you.

Send this to all of your friends. We secure our
friends, not by accepting favors, but by doing them.
