Dear Future Kids,

Hi, my name is Daniel Ekine. I am here to introduce myself as your parent that will guide you through this journey called LIFE. 

For years, I have visualized our first interaction, your smile, your being, your eyes, your giggle, your first name, your sad face, your gawk, your angry face, your reservoir, your hair, your cuteness, your admiration and your disapproval. I have been looking forward to this moment for life. I have experienced a lot in this journey before your arrival, the good, the bad, the ugly and the meaning of it all called DESTINY. 

My role in this path you have chosen is to protect you, to guide you, to love you, and to favor you in every step of the way. Sometimes, I won't be right beside you but I will be there with you in spirit. Sometimes, I will say “NO” and it would break my heart but 98% of the time I will say “YES” and it would warm my heart.

I promise to be your first and true 'cheerleader'; your number 'one' fan for life. If the world is against you, I would be your 'backbone. Unlike my parents, I promise to love you unconditionally. I promise to right the wrongs in the many generations before me and my parents. I promise  that any crude mentality before me stops with me. I want you to be a free spirit born naked into this world.

Don't be a stranger to me in your times of doubt, sadness, confusion, and uncertainties, because I would always support you. When you feel like you know it all but do need a second opinion, I would gladly be that voice. I promise to put a smile on my face in every situation just for you. You would be the trigger point of my joy and the center of my world. 

My child, if I ever lay my hands on you, say to me with your sad face, “WHY!”. Remind me of my promise to you, 'never to raise my voice or lay a finger on you'. 

Every hard work I do, would be to protect and provide for you in every way. Every fight I get into on your behalf would be to kiss away your fears. I want you to be brave and carefree. Never hesitate to tell me all your “dirty little secrets”, your first kiss, your first crush, the first time you felt butterflies in your stomach, because I would be your personal therapist and assistant. “Haha”.

All i want to say is, “i promise to love you beyond love itself, savor that twinkle in your eyes forever, love you to the point i could 'eat you', snuggle you always, cater for you more than life itself, be eager to put your needs before mine, wish your pain away in a heartbeat, pray that you do better than i did, love whoever and whomever you choose. Trust me always. I love you”.

I just want you to know that someday when you wake up, you will realize you are the MOST LUCKY KID IN THE WORLD.
