Dear Babies This is Your Dad in 2008

I want to begin by saying that the day "our life is going to change" is right around the corner. God knows when that will be and what we will have (boys, girls or one of each). My wife and I are excited, nervous, excited, nervous, in pain (mostly my wife) and did I mention that we are excited and nervous? The twins keep growing and everything seems to be going well.

I must say that we have been blessed with the opportunity to become parents. We have heard and read about other happily married couples that have had issues or lost babies along the way. I can honestly say that it pains me deep in my heart when I hear those stories. The pain happens even if I don't really know the people because when it's not happening for you, the world seems to be stacked against you. The only thing I can do is pray for the families that struggle achieving pregnancy and for babies.



I want to share a little note/letter that I wrote in the Spring of 2008. This was a few months before I was to marry my wife. I remember sitting in my apartment playing XBOX and then for some reason I decided to write a note to my future kids. I still don't know why but I did. After I wrote the note I stuck it inside a Bible that I had sitting round and told myself that I wasn't going to read it until I was having kids. Little did I know what I wrote would come true. At the time I didn't know that we would be expecting twins so that makes the note more interesting for me (and if we have a boy and a girl even more interesting yet!). I hope you enjoy because I sure did.

Spring 2008

Dear Son & Daughter:

All I'm thinking of is you and looking at those beautiful blue eyes.  They are like your Mommy's, and people say your nice smile is like mine.  The crazy thing is that you aren't even born yet, but one day I will sing to you a song and you are going to laugh at your crazy Dad.

My son, one day I will take you to a ball game while you, little girl, will be my little princess.  And Daddy and Mommy will work hard to make you as happy as you can ever be.


Your Dad.
