Speaker 1: Welcome to them, Christian No Common Show podcast.
Speaker 2: So today it's the official Jude Day for Jack's son.
Speaker 2: Not here yet. He'll be here when he wants to
Speaker 2: arrive earlier on this week or sener Jack, whilst your wait,
Speaker 2: why don't you write a letter to him about everything
Speaker 2: you expect to be as a dad in your relationship together.
Speaker 2: I love writing letters and my kids on their birthdays
Speaker 2: at Christmas time with that. It's a really nice thing
Speaker 2: to do, and I just thought it might be something
Speaker 2: you you might enjoy doing and years to come when
Speaker 2: he's a bit older than that. You know here Bitter
Speaker 2: read it himself, and you can just sort of keep
Speaker 2: a tally of how it's gone over the years your
Speaker 2: relationship together. So Jack and No, actually you've actually spent
Speaker 2: quite a bit of time with it this week. Are
Speaker 2: you happy with it?
Speaker 1: I've actually loved doing it at the start. When you
Speaker 1: said it on Monday, I was like, hope he comes
Speaker 1: overnight so I can get out of doing that letter.
Speaker 2: But and that's why I hired you. I want to
Speaker 2: guy next to me in my right hand who is
Speaker 2: reluctant in every opportunity.
Speaker 1: But I'm glad I persever in with it because I'm
Speaker 1: very happy with it, and actually hope it is something
Speaker 1: that he reads, you know, at ten years old, at
Speaker 1: twenty years old, and at thirty years old, and he
Speaker 1: finds something different or it speaks to him in a
Speaker 1: different way each time he reads it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it will do, because your relationship will change, all right, Jackie,
Speaker 2: when you're good. Yeah, I can't wait to hear it.
Speaker 2: Go for it.
Speaker 1: Okay. This is aptly named letter to my son. It's
Speaker 1: my first time being a dad, it's your first time
Speaker 1: being alive. You can ride up on my shoulders. I
Speaker 1: can see the world through your eyes, catching bugs, building
Speaker 1: sand castles, jumping in puddles, and skipping stones. Know that
Speaker 1: from now until forever, you will never be alone. Make jokes,
Speaker 1: make music, make mischief, live your life with joy. Harbor
Speaker 1: big dreams for your future. But take time to be
Speaker 1: a boy. Start things before you feel ready, jump before
Speaker 1: you see the landing. Life will open doors for those
Speaker 1: already standing. You'll take from books and art and music
Speaker 1: and people, anything that strikes a note. Take the parts
Speaker 1: you like of me, leave the ones you don't, and
Speaker 1: with an open heart and a curious mind, soak up
Speaker 1: everything you can find your own definition of what it
Speaker 1: means to be a man.
