I want to share with you a personal story. Fathers day was Sunday and it was very special to me. It was my first father’s day! My wife and I adopted a beautiful baby boy last Tuesday. It came as a total surprise to us given that we had been turned down several times for one reason or another.
We got a call from our social worker who had called many times before with tales of possible babies. We didn’t expect this call would be any different than theothers. This call was. In fact, she said buy yourself a car seat just in case.
Well we went to the hospital and met the family and fell in love with them and the lovely baby. In just 3 hours my life was changed forever, I’m a father for the first time. I felt like I was asked to act in a play without rehersal,expecting to know all my lines.
I have been overwhelmed by all the stuff babies need: Diapers, wipes, tops. booties, mits, bottles, strollers and car seats etc..
I felt like I entered the pearly gates when I walked into the local Babies R Us store complete with celestial choruses. God that place has everything!
The past few days have been without much sleep. Beside being zombie like I managed to write out these few words without falling asleep. But such is life. Since I work at home, I spend all day with him and its been wonderful to watch it all happen.
I have a new found respect for moms, taking care of just “one” newbord is kicking my behind big time.
My first father’s day was wonderful. I felt like I was a VIP. My chest was sore from being poked out so much with pride. Well I apologized for digressing here in this email but I can’t help it.
Ernest, I am sooo happy for you. What a beautiful baby. Welcome to parenthood with its many ups and downs mostly ups. Every minute is special in its own way. Iwish you and your family much love and happiness and a very long healthy life.

So Incrediably Gorgeus Guy I still feel that I have a newborn three years old but what a fighter I have become for my little guy Enjoy every moment and every cuddle up on your chest and the way the baby smells and all the little amazing things about him the way he yawns and streches it is truly breath taking and worth every whimsical moment. Happy father’s Day
