I understand you are not old enough to read this. But I hope my actions and affections towards you reflect these words. Three years ago today, your mom and I welcomed you into the world. In an instant, I was exhausted, jubilant, scared, proud, and hopeful. In the intervening years, not too much has changed to my shame, aside from the fact that you have changed us both in ways I couldn’t have anticipated. On a daily basis you make me doubt my ability to be a great dad and then reinforces it immediately thereafter. Seeing you when I come home is the highlight of my day, and as soon as I walk through the door, whatever I had hanging over me is diminished. 

I know you can’t understand these words and sentences. But maybe one day you will read this. Maybe not. Either way, 2nd to meeting your mom, you are the single best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you and thank you for being such a sweet boy. Happy Birthday.

your daddy
