Certainty

Dear Wesley,

I realize that life is full of change and uncertainty. You just never know whether, underneath its wrapper, the lollipop will be red. Maybe the stovetop will be hot today, or maybe it won't be. Maybe daddy will go to work today, or maybe mommy will. Maybe you'll get to the potty in time, or maybe you won't. There's just no predicting these things.

But there's one thing that will never, ever change. Every single time you partially shave your head with a beard trimmer, I will shave the rest of it off. Count on it.

I love you, bald boy.

Love,
Mommy
