Dear Lord,
I want to thank you for the precious gift of my son. I am so thankful and blessed each day that I get to be his tatay. As much as I want to hold him tight and never let go, I release him to you. This is not easy, you know. It requires a great deal of trust on my part. You alone know what he needs. I release him to you to protect him and care for him. I pray that not my will be done but yours in his life. Help me to release him to you knowing full well that you love him even more than I do.
