Auntie Coco's letter to Zion

To My Future Nephew:

Congratulations! You have overcome one of the greatest obstacles in your life created by your mom and dad. We don’t know each other yet, but I just found out on February 14th, 2017 that you are being brought into existence. I promise you we will get to know each other and I will always be there for you unconditionally. This is your Auntie Coco. (Your Mom’s Sister). I decided to name myself Coco because it will be probably the 3rd easiest name you’ll be able to pronounce whenever you are born. 

First I would like to let you know that you are coming into this world with the greatest blessing that God could provide: YOUR AMAZING PARENTS.

Your dad….yeeaaeah him. He will be tough on you, encourage you, provide for you, go above and beyond, but trust me don’t ever take that for granted little nigga. He’s your #1 fan remember that. 

Your mom…Listen to her. She’s an amazing human being who has endured and excelled in many aspects of life. She’s my hero. 

Well enough about your parents; you’ll have a lifetime to get to know them. I want to take this time to let you in on a couple of secrets I have learned about life which I am sure you and I will get to share when the time comes for you to be born. :)

The world is yours for the making. 

1. The world is a beautiful place. You will encounter many new experiences, people and places that will shape who you will become. The beauty of it all is that this world and this life are both yours to create. Everything in this world is possible. Ask your parents. Believe in your dreams because I believe in mine as well. 

2. Love. At this very moment, you aren’t even born yet, and all those who surround you LOVE YOU. Your dad, mom, lala, pops, money, your coco, great aunties, your parents friends, YOU HAVE A WHOLE LIST! My advice to you is to love and to be loved. Love God, Love your family, and love yourself. Anything you do no matter how small or big do it all with love. You know people may not understand you, but the results will show. You’ll always be loved. Learn to love new experiences: Play your favorite sport and make sure you study as well. 

3. Dreams. I always go by the motto “Dreams don’t work unless you do” DREAM BIG AND DREAM OFTEN. If you can dream with your eyes open, thats when the secret of life and its beauty are bestowed upon you. Z, always believe in your dreams; That should always be your #1 goal. between you and me.

4. Faith. Always have faith in your life. Especially in God. Whichever faith is bestowed upon you, BELIEVE IN GOD!!!!!Trust him and yield him in your life, for he has great plans for you. Experience this journey for yourself, and if you ever have any questions, I will be here for you to guide you in the right direction. Always 100% and know that I am only one phone call away.

I know we don’t know each other yet, but I am excited to meet you, spoil you, and get to know you. We are going to have so many great times together I am already putting together a list of all the amazing activities you and me are going to do together. I promise I will be the best auntie you’ll ever have and you can always count on me for ANYTHING. I love you with all my heart. And remember the world is yours little man. 

Awaiting [im] patiently for your arrival,

Auntie Coco
