"The nearer Kim and I approached the decision to marry, the more I was filled with a paralyzing fear. Was I ready? Was I making the right choice? Was Kim the right person to marry? Would she make me happy? Then, one fateful night..."
"I looked back to the bed. Still empty. And then it happened. I fell to my knees, and then to my back. It came from up from my gut. I could almost physically feel it moving to the top of my abdomen, to my chest, into my neck and then my head. I cannot describe the pain."
"You are so unbelievably excited that your child is born…and in the next moment you believe you’ll have to say farewell to your wife forever. It was like being numbed."
"I was once the person that would say 'that kid wouldn't act like that if they were disciplined'. But oh did God have a plan of teaching me a lesson I didn't know I needed to learn, and making me eat those words."
And with an eye-roll, my daughter turned away... She can roll her eyes in a complete circle like a hamster wheel. “You’re in trouble,” I have heard from bystanders, friends, and family. “I am in trouble,” I, myself, have even said on multiple occasions.
"I’ve learned strong-willed toddlers grow up to be strong-willed teens. And that’s more than okay. It’s actually a blessing and I wouldn’t change it if I could."
