WEBVTT - MINI: Jack's Letter

0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to them, Christian No Common Show podcast.

0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:10.200
<v Speaker 2>So today it's the official Jude Day for Jack's son.

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Not here yet. He'll be here when he wants to

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 2>arrive earlier on this week or sener Jack, whilst your wait,

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 2>why don't you write a letter to him about everything

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.840
<v Speaker 2>you expect to be as a dad in your relationship together.

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I love writing letters and my kids on their birthdays

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 2>at Christmas time with that. It's a really nice thing

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>to do, and I just thought it might be something

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 2>you you might enjoy doing and years to come when

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 2>he's a bit older than that. You know here Bitter

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 2>read it himself, and you can just sort of keep

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 2>a tally of how it's gone over the years your

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 2>relationship together. So Jack and No, actually you've actually spent

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 2>quite a bit of time with it this week. Are

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:45.559
<v Speaker 2>you happy with it?

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I've actually loved doing it at the start. When you

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>said it on Monday, I was like, hope he comes

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 1>overnight so I can get out of doing that letter.

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 2>But and that's why I hired you. I want to

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 2>guy next to me in my right hand who is

0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>reluctant in every opportunity.

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>But I'm glad I persever in with it because I'm

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>very happy with it, and actually hope it is something

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 1>that he reads, you know, at ten years old, at

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty years old, and at thirty years old, and he

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>finds something different or it speaks to him in a

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>different way each time he reads it.

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it will do, because your relationship will change, all right, Jackie,

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 2>when you're good. Yeah, I can't wait to hear it.

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Go for it.

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay. This is aptly named letter to my son. It's

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 1>my first time being a dad, it's your first time

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>being alive. You can ride up on my shoulders. I

0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>can see the world through your eyes, catching bugs, building

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>sand castles, jumping in puddles, and skipping stones. Know that

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>from now until forever, you will never be alone. Make jokes,

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>make music, make mischief, live your life with joy. Harbor

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>big dreams for your future. But take time to be

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>a boy. Start things before you feel ready, jump before

0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>you see the landing. Life will open doors for those

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>already standing. You'll take from books and art and music

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 1>and people, anything that strikes a note. Take the parts

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you like of me, leave the ones you don't, and

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>with an open heart and a curious mind, soak up

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>everything you can find your own definition of what it

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>means to be a man.

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:29.519
