Day 215:
It's amazing, Son. Every time I talk to almost anyone about my seven month old Son, they almost all say the same thing, "It goes by so fast! Don't miss a moment!" Now Conor, I believe colloquialisms exist based on their merit. Certainly there's a reason for every clever expression; there's truth behind it. But to be sure, the time is flying as we watch you grow before our very eyes.
Yes, Boy'O, you entering the world has impacted us all in more ways than you'll ever know; and all for the good. And with those changes, or shall we say, blessings, decisions are made that will impact us all even further. Again, all good! One of those is the decision to continue moving our family forward. Not as though we'd ever had a choice but to do anything else, though some changes are certainly bigger than others. A new and safer car, better and more consistent investments in our future, and now, a commitment to get you in to a new house that we can watch you grow into. And so we press on.
Mommy and me have been in this house for the last 10 years. It's a fine house and it's got a rack of memories associated with it, both good and bad. But with the chapters of our lives unfolding at a breakneck pace, so to then is the need to write some new ones. New and exciting ones! Fun ones... Loving ones... Great times await indeed, and so we begin a new chapter.
The appropriate steps are being taken to get that house I mentioned the other night, Son. Paperwork is coming along, stars are aligning, and the pressure is beginning to mount in so far as getting this house ready to go; again, provided we're able to nail everything down and get the house we've waited so long for. Just like you... We waited a long time for the Lion Heart and now here you are! As beautiful as anything in this whole world. It's time we step up and give you what you give us - more.
Time keeps on ticking, Boy'O. But all that matters is how we spend it. And I assure you, we're going to spend it really, really well.
I love you, Conor.
-Dad
