Dear Rooney,

I will go before you. I will protect you. I will fight for you. I will love you endlessly. But will you do something for me? Will you give me grace? I've never been here before, and I'm still trying to figure things out. I'll get lost. l'll fall down, and things might get a little muddy.

But if we keep our eyes on Jesus, we'll come out the other side. Together. 

I promise I will never stop pointing you toward Jesus.

Love, Mama
