I am now a father of two.
I really have a family. It is amazing. I look in the mirror and I see something different. Maybe it is me being exhausted, maybe I look eerily like my father now. Yet the joy is tremendous.
Yes. You forget just how intense and demanding newborns are, but while we are tired, tattered, a bit on edge, I am profoundly happy. The love and warmth that Ari gives us is amazing. The conversations, the thoughts he shares with us are both amusing and eye opening. Now he is a brother (and a good one!).
Celebrating tomorrow.
