To my son,<\/p>\n
I hope that you are happy
\nAnd that you are always able to know what that is
\nStay out of trouble if you can
\nBut go into it if you must
\nKnow that I don\u2019t care who you love
\nAs long as they love you and take care of you
\nThere will be times when life sucks
\nAnd sometimes it will suck so very much
\nCall me, call the family, call your friends\u2026
\nSo many people love you
\nAt least one person will pick up the phone
\nNever be afraid of what you are
\nAnd learn how to master your skills
\nEat the food, drink the wine, kiss the one you want (with permission)
\nAnd try to live your very best life<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
