what an honour

                                         asa teaches me the art of relaxing

what does it mean to help bring another life into this world?

the total reliance this new person has on my wife and i.

the wonder that he will be a grown man like me, or not like me? one day.

the privilege of us being able to watch him grow and change,

discover himself and his expanding world,

make decisions about who he is and what he wants to do.

how can thoughts like this not overwhelm?

it is a feeling i consciously surrender to.

what an honour ...

  1. Adorable pic. Enjoy every minute; they truly do grow up so quickly! Just today my toddler and I were listening to BROTHER's bagpipes--gotta train him early! :)
