Dear Bently

Today you fell in the bathtub! Now you must understand, if you don't all ready, how very different your father and I are! I always knew we had some little quirks but having you sure has made some of them become more prominent than others! One that sticks out is how much more laid back I am then your dad. Usually i don't find this much of a fault, really I often think your dad stresses too much! Well today I learned otherwise! So as I said earlier you fell in the bathtub. You have a habit of standing up in the bathtub where it is slippery and you tend to fall! You hit your head pretty hard and started to cry! I whisked you up out of the water and hugged you tight to my chest, even though you were soaking wet! What can I say i sacrifice for you!!!! ;) well your dad if course is freaking out telling me I shouldn't let you stand in the bathtub! I think myself well ya but maybe if he falls enough he'll learn not to do it! But apparently my reasoning was incorrect! I put you back in the bathtub and watched as you stood right back up. I wasn't quite fast enough and you slipped and hit your mouth. Oh bother you cries and screamed. In that moment I felt so horrible I wanted I cry along with you. I would've taken that pain from you in a heartbeat! As I thought back on this I realized in some small way, I could understand how the Savior and our Heavenly Father feel about us! They know the danger out there and warn us of it! But we (especially me) think we know better and do it anyways. Sometimes multiple times! And every time we fall down and get hurt they are there for us! To pick us up when we're soaking wet and wounded. They are there to hold us as we cry and tell us it's okay! They never say I told you so. They just love us and want us to be happy. They are always there for you Bently! Never doubt that! Neve think you've done too much or are not worthy to talk to them! As a parent I can tell you the love for a child is endless! I love you more than you can imagine and so does your Heavenly Father!
Love you forever no matter what!
Mom
