Hey Kiddo!
So, I was able to tell your Grandmother Kathy in person that you were going to be coming into the world (last Friday), and this morning I spoke to your Aunt Jai over the phone, and she was over the moon as well.
My sister (Kristi was her name as we were growing up) is a fantastic mother with three boys, whom I'm sure you'll one day meet. They'll be 11 to 15 years older than you, but I hope that one day you'll call each other every once in a while and see how things are going.
Family is important, and although my mom and my sister and I are scattered accross the country, we have a stronger connection now than when we all lived under the same roof. I wish you could have met your Grandpa Doug. My dad was a great musician and artist, and kept our family protected and warm. We didn't have a lot of the same interests growing up, but he was a loving father nonetheless, and I'm sad that you'll only get to know him through photographs
We saw Tim and Melisa's baby last night, Evangeline, and as I held her I imagined what life will be like in less than 9 months. In those few moments, with Evie asleep in my arms, I forgot about everything in my life that causes me a little stress or worry. I can't wait to hold you in my arms as you fall asleep.
Be good!
Dad
