00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to them, Christian No Common Show podcast.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: So today it's the official Jude Day for Jack's son.

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: Not here yet. He'll be here when he wants to

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: arrive earlier on this week or sener Jack, whilst your wait,

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: why don't you write a letter to him about everything

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: you expect to be as a dad in your relationship together.

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: I love writing letters and my kids on their birthdays

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: at Christmas time with that. It's a really nice thing

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: to do, and I just thought it might be something

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: you you might enjoy doing and years to come when

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: he's a bit older than that. You know here Bitter

12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: read it himself, and you can just sort of keep

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: a tally of how it's gone over the years your

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 2: relationship together. So Jack and No, actually you've actually spent

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 2: quite a bit of time with it this week. Are

16
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: you happy with it?

17
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: I've actually loved doing it at the start. When you

18
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: said it on Monday, I was like, hope he comes

19
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: overnight so I can get out of doing that letter.

20
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: But and that's why I hired you. I want to

21
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: guy next to me in my right hand who is

22
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: reluctant in every opportunity.

23
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: But I'm glad I persever in with it because I'm

24
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: very happy with it, and actually hope it is something

25
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: that he reads, you know, at ten years old, at

26
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: twenty years old, and at thirty years old, and he

27
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: finds something different or it speaks to him in a

28
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: different way each time he reads it.

29
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it will do, because your relationship will change, all right, Jackie,

30
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: when you're good. Yeah, I can't wait to hear it.

31
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: Go for it.

32
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: Okay. This is aptly named letter to my son. It's

33
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: my first time being a dad, it's your first time

34
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: being alive. You can ride up on my shoulders. I

35
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: can see the world through your eyes, catching bugs, building

36
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: sand castles, jumping in puddles, and skipping stones. Know that

37
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: from now until forever, you will never be alone. Make jokes,

38
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: make music, make mischief, live your life with joy. Harbor

39
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: big dreams for your future. But take time to be

40
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: a boy. Start things before you feel ready, jump before

41
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: you see the landing. Life will open doors for those

42
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: already standing. You'll take from books and art and music

43
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: and people, anything that strikes a note. Take the parts

44
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: you like of me, leave the ones you don't, and

45
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: with an open heart and a curious mind, soak up

46
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: everything you can find your own definition of what it

47
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: means to be a man.

48
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:29,519
