I am never more at peace than when I watch you sleep.
Never more at home.
I wish I knew what you were dreaming.
Perhaps one day you will remember.
Maybe soon we will remember everything we have ever thought or felt.
I hope so.
I hope our memories do not end.
I hope nothing of substance ends.
Dear God in heaven, please, please do not let death sever this relationship.
I could not bear that knowing this child has an end to it.
But just for now, please make time slow down.
I love you.
–Dad
Hey, I’m glad it was you.
Does that make sense?
I’m glad I got to be your dad.
All this time we got to have together.
This wild and crazy life.
You are perfect.
Just felt like I need a post that said only that.
I am so glad God made me your daddy.
I’m glad it was not some other kid.
I’m glad it was you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
–Dad
K, you just said your first word!
It’s father’s day.
And I heard it
I heard it, and H confirmed it a few minutes later.
And then, so did Pop.
You can speak!
You said: “dada”
While I think you said it once yesterday, today makes it official.
H was excited too.
I reminded her that her first word was: “dog.”
H laughed at that.
Mom was, however, a little disappointed you didn’t say:Â “mama.”
But she will get over it.
I love you.
-Dad
