I can only hope I am half the man my father was. The amount of patience and love and patience and more love he showed me through out my life was amazing. My newborn son deserves that and more.

For my boy.

My bouncing boy
10 months ago
My son, the apple of my eye, the chip off this old block, my pride and joy, was born Tuesday 6 January 2009. 8lbs 9.6oz 21.25 inches bundle of joy. The feeling is the most joyous yet humbling experience you can ever have.
Revisiting this on my list.

3 years ago I put this on my list. Today I am still a fricking chimney. But this past week my son was born. Mindset has changed. Enough with the excuses. Enough with the procrastination. Enough with the typical BS. This is the time. I have to do it. I have to prove to everyone else I can…but more importantly I have to prove it to myself. Wish me luck!
