Today was the first morning in years that I have been up before my children. I assumed, like many others, that parenthood would bring a natural bliss, sense of purpose and love. I know now that all of these things do accompany parenthood but not without intention and cultivation.
As Saturday approaches I am in awe that 6 years have gone by since Pat and I said I do. We didn't even know what marriage was really about let alone parenthood. We have made a lot of mistakes over the many days we've been married but somewhere along the way we managed to welcome two of the most special, loving and creative people into the world our little girls. Who at present are really not so little. At nearly 4 and now 2 our daughters hold their own.
It is a joy to spend my days with the girls, not without challenge but truly a blessing.
