People always say to me to cherish each of these days with you, Son, because soon I'll look back and they'll have flown by. And no doubt that's a true sentiment. I can't believe I'm pushing 40! Feels like just yesterday when I was skateboarding and eating what I wanted guilt free! I woke up and BOOM, 39 years old!
I wouldn't trade any of it for the world, but it is true - time does fly. Still, in going back and looking at pictures from day one right up to now, and watching you grow before my very eyes, I know that this blog is as wonderful a thing as I could ever be addicted to. Because while it's true that time flies and that these years will go buzzing by, starting from the beginning and working up to present day tells a story of reminders that is almost more than you can remember freely! I mean, where do I make room in my brain?
It's so much fun to think that 2 short months ago you wouldn't even sleep through the night. Now, more often than not, we have to wake you up! But on those days when you wake up on your own, days like today, you're so patient in awaiting your release from the swaddle cloth... Eyes open, talking to yourself, no fussing, just waiting for someone to rescue you. And when I walked into that room and your eyes focussed on mine, you smiled a smile that stopped me cold. Your recognizing me and Mommy and smiling at us in a way only the Lion Heart can is the most wonderful thing I've ever known. And wonderful you are, Son.
Loving every minute with you, Conor. Every one...
I love you,
Dad
