She’s ten years old today!
TEN !!
Double-digits!!! Where, O where
does the time go?
Ten years ago today I became a father. 6:12 pm
to be precise. It was a cool, rainy day,
a Tuesday if I remember correctly. The
first child for me and my wife, both of us in our 30s by then, most of our
friends already with children at this point.
It was an exciting day, and my wife, in the thrall of induced
childbirth, didn’t beat me up too bad.
Plus we had the best doctor in the state of New Jersey, so though there
were a couple of jittery moments here and there (trouble with the wife’s
epidural, the baby not getting enough O2 at one point), I had no doubts that we
would have a healthy, wonderful child.
And we do!
She is awesome, a perfect combination of my wife’s best
qualities with mine. I love pal’ing
around with her, reading side by side, watching weird spooky things on teevee
together, talking about goofy stuff on long car rides. She is my inspiration, and I fell in love
with her the first time I held her, 3,650 days ago.
Happy 10th Birthday Little One!
And now (apple picking today):
