Well it is now officially the new year. I've seen 22 other new years and they all go by about the same. This one will be different though. This year marks a great turning point in my life. A year I go from being a man of the house to a father.
I have had some great role models to look at though. First, my father. Dad if you are reading this I just want to thank you for all the great times that we shared. I know that we had some rough spot and we didn't always see eye to eye, but I don't think that I would be half the person that I am today if it wasn't for you. I love you and Hope that I'm at least half the father that you were. I also want to thank Pepa (Grandpa for those of you who don't know him). You have truly been a inspiration to me. I see the finished product of a great father through my mom. You have looked after both of your children and been there for them when they need you. I don't think of you as just a Grandfather but also another father figure in my life. Thank you and I love you.
I know that I'm going to enjoy being a father. I can't wait till I can hold him in my hands. What a great day that will be. I keep looking at my wife and I see that she is ready too. With this New Year comes a New Life. A life of change and true adulthood, and life where I can finally understand the love A FATHER shares for his family.

As a Father, all you can do is possibly show enough love and care to your child that they will possess the skill to do the same. I was not lucky enough to have someone to show me and I can only pray that I acted on God's will to pass these skill sets to you. Please learn from what I did, the good, the bad and the Indifferent.I love you and I have never said that enough (I am not sure it can be said to many times). I am so excited to see you with the chance to put your spin on fatherhood and I know that you will be even better than me.
With Love, Dad

This is the first time I have visited your blog. What a wonderful thing for Mema to eavesdrop! You will be a wonderful Dad. Your Dad has been a great example (and that is from his mother-in-law). Pepa and I can't wait to see and squeeze Parker. Love you!
Mema
