Daddy's Third Post

It's hard to imagine loving something so much that we have yet to see. That's exactly what is happening with Baby Wogs right now. We talk about Baby Wogs all the time and baby is already a big part of our lives, it's mind blowing.

I am also thinking about parenting responsibilities. There is always some doubt in your own abilities isn't there? Will I be able to provide all the resources our family needs? Will I be a good dad as our child grows and be able to teach them, be patient with them, and yes even learn from them and my mistakes?

Maybe that's my first mistake, it's not me and my, it's we and ours. Tiff and I are in this parenting role together not as individuals. I don't remember many times when either of my parents were disappointed at any of us kids and I hope we can be the same. My parents were pretty damn good to us; I don't remember really needing anything growing up. I just wish my dad was here to celebrate with my mom in our excitement but God had other plans for him. I guess maybe the best way for me to show my gratitude for having a great father is to try to be one myself.
