On the eve of a new decade, I find myself pondering the life changing event that will happen to me in the coming year. I'm not sure I've totally put my head around the thought of becoming a father yet. I see my beautiful wife changing everyday. I've seen the ultrasound pictures and videos of this little life that we're creating together. Even though I know exactly what's going on...I feel I don't have a clue how this will change me.
The day that Hollie and I found out we're having a boy, an emotion came over me that I've never experienced before. I can only imagine the emotion that will arrive with the birth of my son. I can't wait to meet him.
Tonight something will happen that only happens every 2.5 years or so, and every 20 years or so on the same night. A Blue Moon will fill the sky over all mankind as they rejoice and welcome in a new year. The last time a Blue Moon happened on New Years Eve was 1990.
I've been truly blessed since the last blue moon. The last 20 years laid the foundation of who I believed I should be in this life. The next 20 years will define who I truly am.
For me, fatherhood is still pretty surreal. I don't pretend to know what it will be like for you, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it. As I've said before, I'm 100% sure that you and Hollie will be amazing parents. Happy New Year, brother!
