My Dearest Evan...

 

My Dearest Evan

As I sit down to write this letter, my heart swells with love and pride for you. You are my precious boy, my first ray of hope, and the reason I find the strength to face each day. Even though life has thrown challenges our way, the thought of you has always been my anchor, keeping me grounded when the storms felt overwhelming.

I want you to know how much you mean to me, Evan. From the moment I first held you in my arms, I knew my life had changed forever. You brought joy into my world, a joy that words can hardly capture. Your laughter is the sweetest melody, and your smile lights up even the darkest corners of my soul. I’ve cherished every moment we've shared, from your first steps to your endless questions about the world around you.

This Christmas, as the world sparkles with lights and fills with the warmth of togetherness, my greatest wish is for you to know how deeply you are loved. I wish I could be there with you, to share in the magic of the season, to see your eyes light up as you open your gifts, and to hold you close as we watch the twinkling stars. But even from afar, my love for you bridges every distance. You are always in my heart, my thoughts, and my prayers.

Evan, always remember that you are strong, smart, and kind. Life may not always be easy, but you have the power to overcome any obstacle. Believe in yourself as much as I believe in you. You are capable of achieving great things, and I will always be cheering you on, no matter where life takes us.

This Christmas, my wish for you is happiness, health, and a heart full of dreams. May you always find reasons to smile, and may you grow into the incredible person I know you are destined to be. And never forget, Evan, that I am so proud of you. Proud of who you are and who you are becoming. You are my sunshine, my hope, and my greatest blessing.

Merry Christmas, my dear Evan. I love you more than words can say, and I always will.

With all my love,

Dada

My Brave Little Soldier

(By Jacob M)

Evan, my boy, my courageous heart,

This Christmas, I miss you more than I can impart.

The lights on the tree sparkle and gleam,

Yet it’s your laughter that colors my dream.

You’re the strength I hold when times grow tough,

A soul so resilient, so kind, and enough.

Though distance may keep us apart on this night,

I send you my wishes, wrapped in soft light.

Picture the sleighbells, their melody clear,

Carrying my love to wherever you are, my dear.

Each note of the carols rings true with my prayer,

That you feel my heart with you everywhere.

May Christmas surround you with warmth and delight,

With laughter that echoes and stars shining bright.

I pray for your joy, your peace, and your smile,

To fill all your days and stretch every mile.

Evan, my son, my bright Christmas spark,

Even in silence, you light up the dark.

I hope that you know, no matter how far,

You’ll always be my little shining star.

This Christmas, I send you a wish from my core:

That you feel my love forever and more.

My Evan boy…

Dear Evan and Ivanka

I hope that one day, whether it’s today, tomorrow, or years from now, you’ll find them and know just how much you mean to me.

I miss you both more than words can say. Even though the world may seem uncertain, my love for you is a constant, and I’ll always pray for your happiness, your peace, and your strength.

Know that no matter where life takes us, I will always carry you in my heart. This Christmas, I send my love across the distance, wishing you joy and warmth, and hoping that one day you’ll feel the truth of these words.
