Father's Day

It's Father's Day 2014. This is the first year that I get to celebrate it with a born child. I'm so grateful. 

Father's Day...it never meant so much to me until now. Not because it's a time where I get celebrated & recognized for being a Daddy. Having our daughter and another one on the way, a boy, is the reason this day should be celebrated. 

To Ellee: I pray you never stop enjoying the day. You are my greatest achievement. You are my favorite. You have brought me so much life to my soul because of your sweet nature. May you continue to grow, laugh, and love. You carry the essense & innonence of your mother. I'd like to think you're as jolly as your daddy. I love you my sweet little girl. 

To Myles: I was scared at the thought of having a boy. I didn't know how to teach someone else how to be a man. I used to to think being a man was contingent on the manly stuff you could do or not do. But I was wrong. You're born a man. It's not like I can teach you how to be my son. You are going to be born as my son. The other stuff comes with life. I'm excited to walk through your life with you. I believe you'll show me more of what being a man is about than I will you. You are my greatest achievement. You are my favorite. I love you my boy.
