Jonathan, my only son!
You are your mama’s boy.
You’ve got her eyes.
You’ve got her spine.
You’re such a joyful noise.
Jonathan, blood of my blood.
What’s a boy to do?
When you fell and cut your head.
The kitchen floor turned red.
How I wish that I could bleed for you instead.
How I wish that I could bleed for you instead.
Jonathan, boys will be boys.
We need a lot of grace.
You can’t count on many things.
But you can count on me to fail.
Promise me that you will learn from my mistakes.
Promise me that you will learn from my mistakes.
I swear that I will try my best to keep you safe from harm.
I swear that I will try my best to keep you safe from harm.
I swear that I will try my best to keep you safe from harm.
I swear that I will try my best to keep you safe from harm.
