Welcome to the family, kid.


Your dad and I around October, 2011
 
 
Our prom in December, 2011
 
 
At your Aunty Kim's wedding in October, 2012
 
 
And lastly, New Years Eve, 2012!

Your father is intelligent, loving and sensitive. When it comes to the people he loves, he's 100% dedicated to making their life easier, even if it means that his life will get harder. Many things come easy to him, and we're opposites in so many ways. While he's very calm, patient and handles things well, I struggle to contain my thoughts and emotions. I hate when things aren't going the way I'd like them to, as bratty as that sounds, whereas your dad accepts it and moves on. He's very strong and puts up with A LOT. He will teach you everything you need to know about the earth that we live on. He will show you how to tie your shoes and how to clip suspenders onto your pants. He will show you how easy it is to love and to be loved. He will inspire you, like he's inspired everybody else that he's ever met. He will give you hope.

I'm emotional, thoughtful and open minded. I'm always trying to find new information, create new ideas and learn new concepts. I was never very good at comprehending what a teacher was telling me, but when it comes to things that I find interesting, I can spend hours of my time researching and learning. Your father is most definitely the opposite in that respect. I can lose my cool very easy and often let the negative parts of myself dominate the positive sides. I will teach you the importance of baking cupcakes on a Sunday afternoon. I will let you identify with yourself however you please with nothing but love and support. I will let you eat dirt sometimes. I will show you that despite the constant struggle, there is nothing more important than letting positivity overcome negativity. I will give you strength. 

You're gonna be alright, kid.
