Para Mi Hijo, Edgar Vincent en Su Cinco Mesas Cumpleanos~\


It's a thought I don't treasure but it is one I have to acknowledge. I won't always be here for you, mi hijo, no matter how badly I want to be. It's just not in the cards. Tu madre loves you very much, more than she ever knew she could but somethings just aren't up to her. I don't ever want to leave you, little prince but I know I will, sadly probably long before you'll be able to even recall me clearly. For that, and many other things, I am sorry, my son.

I hope your memories of me aren't me crying like la idiota just staring at you.

I know your mother, la ardilla de mis corazon de Satanas- she loves you so very much as well. I know she'll be there for you, little princeling. She'll teach you everything I never got to. To value a life lived in accordance with The Seven Tenants. She'll teach you how to be our little hero, a good person, a Torch-bearer, in a world that will try so hard to keep you in the dark. She'll teach you to value knowledge, not to hoard it, to share it like any good treasure, with any who would value it. She'll teach you to be generous, and aid those you can, even if they may not seem like they deserve it. She'll teach you to stand up, to fight back against those who would do you and others harm, to be the shield and if need be, the sword. She'll show you how to be polite, courteous and kind- always to be kind.

I know she will, because these things are why I fell in love with her.

I know that she will also not be alone, hijo. You will have more family to help. You will have your Uncle Dratis, for one. If anyone can teach you genuine kindness, compassion for it's own sake and the value of doing no harm to others, being understanding, patient and merciful, it will be him. Listen to your Uncle, my precious boy. Especially when he starts going on about video games. You'll thank us both later.

For now, though, just smile, little one, our precious darling prince, because this is your day and we celebrate the joy you bring into our world just by being here with us. Even when you cry, we still rejoice, hearing your sweet little voice.

I only wonder what you will sound like when you're older. If you keep taking after us, I know you'll break hearts. You'll need to be careful about that. -but that will be for another day, hopefully much later yet.

Feliz Cinco Mesas, Mi Hijo de Satanas. Tu Madre, Yo, te amo, Edgar.
