Tonight, when you went to bed, you were saying prayers with Daddy and you said,
"Jesus take care of Mommy and Daddy, God stay in here with me." Such a beautiful and sweet thing to ask for Hudson.
Lately, you have been a bit scared. You tell us there is a monster in your room and we tell you there is no such thing. You yell my name every 5 minutes and say, "Mommy, check on me in 5 minutes. MOMMY! Check on me in 5 minutes!!" You want a light on, so we dim the light to the lowest level. .... My baby love, it is ok to be scared sometimes and I can sympathize more than you will ever understand. However, I truly hope for you that you are not a generally scared person. Your Mommy was scared for so much of her life until I had you, and then, I realized there was nothing to be scared of!! Sure, there will be things that scare you here and there - that's life, but don't be afraid of the dark my love. You are never alone. God and Jesus are always with you and Mommy and Daddy are always close by. I tell you every night, "Mommy is never far away." The dark is a beautiful thing. It is the time of day when the moon comes out and shines over Earth and sends you beautiful dreams and sweet love. The moon is our friend. We talk to him often and you love him very much. How could he come out if there was no darkness?
We love you amore mio! Mommy and Daddy
"I can see, and that is why I can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a man made world."
