Woohoo!

Baby's first movie experience was Despicable Me on Sunday. We also went to toy story a while back but by now the hearing has developed. Baby was making flutters here and there, I'm told, throughout the film! I cried when he finally gave the goodnight kisses (just for one second).

A father's pact

On my first father's day, I have assembled my feelings, my love, and my courage.

I offer this pact as a commitment, contract, and implementation of my will to live and love.

To my child:

A gift I often feel I can never deserve. One that should be treasured. It would be unethical for me not to share such a special kind of gift.

I give to you consciousness.

With what's left of my life, I hope to learn from you.

Who I am will be nurtured and re-shaped by your choices, enthusiasms, interests, and dreams.

I promise to always support the direction you want to go.

I will not be absent from your life.

I will not withhold love and approval that you deserve.

I will not allow anything to be more important to me than your life and happiness.

I will not require of you any standard but simple self-respect and acceptance of me.

Should it ever be required, I will not deny you forgiveness of any error or damage.

I will lay down my life for yours.

happy moms day to my love

To my beautiful wife who is a brand new mom I promise absolute support with every particle of my self. I don't know how to give enough to honor your strength and success. We are flawed creatures. Our love is what allows us to transcend these flaws as we pass down the gift of consciousness to a new member of our species. My plea is for you to accept me & continue in your love for me, allowing it to grow as love for our new one.
