Welcome Home

It's been 7 days since Adler was conceived, and boy, I was so happy. It has been one of the best experiences I've ever had, and it's no wonder how fatherhood can change your outlook on life, especially when thinking about what really matters.

But along with the joy came grief, knowing that I should be home by now so we can enjoy our baby's childhood. That's what I had imagined from the beginning.

Although having people who want to help is fine, it can be really annoying when you have no control over how you should parent your own child.

The comforting fact that I can hold on to now is knowing that I will enjoy the rest of this kid's childhood, God forbid.

Though life is random and messy most of the time, part of me wants to believe more in a higher being that can grant us long and bountiful lives.

To my Adler Lavender, I will love you until I have no air to breathe.

I miss you even when you're near, and I will make sure you're in safe hands.

I love you.
