It’s funny how each one of you has their own little thing to soothe you In the mornings before you wake. Anne places her head in my palm and embraces my arm. You, on the other hand, sit on my lap, hug me and nestle your little head against my shoulder while I rock you and hum a lullaby. And that fills me with your cuteness which I embrace as much as I can because I know this will end one day. I try to fill my brain with as many memories of these episodes as I can. The way your little arms feel wrapped around me. Your little head-on resting on my shoulder, your little breathes you take. I know to you this may seem embarrassing or awkward and that’s because you are young.

When you have a child of your own you will understand exactly what I’m feeling as I write my thoughts and feelings in this blog. You will remember these entries and say to yourself “WOW, dad was right about all of this.”

For now, being a kid, teenager or young adult just take it for what it’s worth. Hopefully, it will spark your memory when its your turn.
