When you are a new dad suddenly you realize how much you have to learn. It is a great thing when friends come by who have had kids and reassure you that - yup, that is normal, and help you realize that you don't have to be uptight.
Shortly after you came home, two good friends of ours came by - they had their son about 20 years before you were born. They were calming, reassuring and it meant a lot to this new dad.
I thought about it because today he is having a birthday. Someday you may be faced with fatherhood - and I would love to be around to see it- but never forget, you will have a lot of friends who will have been through it, and they love to help.
Oh, and don't forget their birthdays- today is his, Evo.
Thank you Evo and Sheila - you meant a lot to this new dad - and mean a lot to JJ
Love,
Dad
You say the nicest things, especially about me!
