So, today is the 3d of January, 2025.
I am writing because I think that it is important that one day you know just how much you mean to me. I am starting this whole website early for various reasons. Mainly, I wanted to feel close to you during this process. Your mom is in the third trimester, and kind of driving me crazy but you won’t understand that till you meet your person and have kids of your own. She keeps complaining / bragging about how you are always kicking and punching her but I still haven’t felt you move yet, I have tried but for some reason you always stop moving when I get near. I have heard your heart beats when we go to the baby appointments, it’s not the same though, its just noise to me right now. I have seen you twice, well if you consider the sonographs pictures of you. But you should be proud of me, I have only have missed one appointment so far because I was the best man in your Uncle Brady’s wedding. Well I hope you will be proud of me. I would promise you that I won’t miss things as you are growing up, but you have the unfortunate luck of having a grunt as a dad. So more likely than not, I will have to go away for periods of time, I will come back though, promise.
Anyways, the main idea behind this whole website thing is so you (and your siblings if we get you any) always have a place where you can ask me questions, get answers, or just see my ramblings on life, and hopefully feel close to me when I can not be there in person. God, that idea hurts and I haven’t even met you yet, but that is a letter for a different day, this letter is just the charter. As we go through this journey I plan to post something every day. It will be a mix of posts like this, useful videos for how to do stuff, life lessons, history lessons, advice from the things I have done either well or that I have messed up, book reviews (but not for your homework assignments), and just things I wished someone told me when I was growing up.
Anyways, that is enough for today. I will keep building out this site, and hopefully in 14 years or so it is useful for you.
Love you buddy, Dad
