My Fathers Day
How blessed are we?
I mean, to possess the ability, the privilege, the honor … all the greatness that allows us Men to procreate.
To create a likeness of ourselves in another human being, our children.
My little girl (currently age ten months) has already begun to show me her potential as an amazing person. Her willingness to try new foods. Her ‘can do’ attitude as she attempts to crawl, stand and walk.
Just last week, Mommy was holding her on the sofa across the living room, while I was on the other sofa. Baby looked over in my direction and started saying, ‘Dada’!
Aw damn! I was just amazed! I leaned toward her, called her name, and she smiled. I resumed watching television and again, she began saying, ‘Dada’!
This time, I didn’t turn around. I just kept my eyes on the television screen, as she kept repeating herself, until I finally turned to face her. Again, she had a bright smile on her face, haha, it was great!
Fast forward a week later – life is wonderful being a Daddy!
