Dear Seth,
You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can't read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter. But I've been thinking a lot about the life that you have ____ you, about my life so far as I ____ on what I've learned, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the ____ that you will face in the coming years.
Be thankful. You are at a wonderful ____ of life. You have still many wonderful stages of life, but they are not without their costs and ____. I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of ____ I've learned. As with any advice, take it with a grain of ____. What works for me ____ not work for you.
Life can be cruel. There will be people in your life ____ won't be very nice. They'll laugh at you because you're different, or for no good ____. They might try to bully you ____ hurt you.
There's not much you can do about these people except ____ to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you, who ____ care about you, who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, ____ them, treasure them, spend time with them, be kind to them and love them.
There will be _____ when you meet with disappointment instead of success. Life won’t always ____ the way you want. This is just another thing you’ll have to learn to deal with. But instead of letting these things get you down, push on, _____ disappointment and learn to persevere and to pursue your dreams _____ pitfalls. Learn to turn negatives into positives, and you’ll do much better in _____. You will also face heartbreak and abandonment by those you love. I hope you don’t have to face this too much, but it happens. Again there is not much you can do but to heal, and to move on with your life. Let these pains become stepping stones to better things in life, and learn to use them to make you _____.
