Eli

Life.

Such a mystery.

Years and years of living.

Life is so short yet so long.

It is so free yet so trapped.

As you live more and more your memories make new moments and forget others

Eli, You could be clueless, or you could be a genius.

Most likely is you won't remember this birth.

But we will tell you.

You will tell your kids,

and your kids will tell their kids.

There is so much in your future,

love, hate, confusion, excitement.

We can not promise you everything, but we can promise you love.

You will find yourself asking,

Why?

Who?

How?

And the truth is, we don't always have the answer.

Eli.

You are a big little Frankfort and Spector.

A little of all of us in you.

Let your mother and father care for you,

let your sister teach you,

let your cousins be there for you,

let your grandparents make you happy,

let your aunts and uncles give you candy and tickles,

and most of all let us love you.

Then I promise you will be okay.

Eli Frankfort Spector.
