I recently became a father. It’s pretty mind boggling to me. If you would have asked 7 years ago, I was pretty content in my ways. This included not thinking I’d get married, and definitely not the whole parenthood thing.
That all changed.
While I’d love to wax poetic, and think about all the improbabilities that have brought me to this place, it’s moot. We’re here and now. Let’s work towards what is to come.
To everyone who ever said becoming a parent is amazing… Wow was that the truth.
To everyone who says it’s so exhausting… It’s an understatement.
To everyone who spoke of the quick immunity to dealing with fecal matter… I am in that place.
To everyone who says it will change you… I’m in the process, but I can see it happening.
I’m currently a little over 2-weeks into it all, and it is so amazing. More than I ever thought. I’m not going to become one of those parenting evangelists or start a daddy blog, but it’s nothing like I expected despite all the advice and warnings from others.
So where do I go from here? Forward. I’m looking forward to things now more than ever.
