Where Does the Time Go?
|
Today is a big day for my son Nicholas, he turns five years old.
I can’t believe where the time went. Yeah, yeah, I know, when you were born, everyone told me, that time will just fly bye. Like most parents, I have to agree. In the past five years, so many changes have affected your life and mine, too.
I can’t believe how much you have changed; you are no longer that little baby that needs everything done for him. It is amazing how much you change everyday. You are growing taller and looking much more like a little man. You have developed quite the personality and are extremely funny.You are so curious and ask so many questions about the world around us. It is amazing how that little sponge soaks up everything around you and stores it away in your mind.
Being a Dad, I want to watch out and protect you. I want to teach you, by my past experiences of how to do things, to show you the right and wrong ways of life. But of course you will have none of that, Nickel, you want to do it all by yourself. You are getting more and more independent. I can only imagine what you will be like when you are 15 and telling me where to go.
I read a great quote the other day that stated “Moms try and pull their children back into the womb, and Dads try to pull them into the real world.” I never would have imagined how much happiness could be brought to a person, just by having a child.
Nick, you are my world, and I love you more each day. I can’t wait to see you in the morning and secretly hate it when you go to bed at night. When you’re in bed, I still get up and check on you several times and sneak a kiss on your forehead.
Happy Birthday Nickel!
P.S. Please don’t ever stop running out the door to hug me when I get home at night. (Daddy really likes that.)
