She’s here.
Our baby girl is here.
Been locked in, devoted to my family while she learns what it feels like on this side of life.
I have more words than I can even hold right now…
and none of them would really do this justice.
But I’ll say a few.
• life is a miracle. real talk.
• I’m in awe of Kimberly… my God, you are the portal.
• home birth is the truth. All natural. I caught baby girl on the way out. I’ll never forget that.
• everything I do, and don’t do, ripples. nothing is small anymore.
• being a father is easy to say… being a dad, that’s work. that’s presence.
• healing is in real time so I don’t pass down what is not hers to carry.
• postpartum is real. again, hats off to all the moms.
• I’m living in a dream I used to write about when I was doing my work around the world. which was also a dream achieved.
I’ll go deeper soon… but for now, I’ll leave this.
That last photo. I was outside a store, waiting on Kimberly,
caught my reflection… I liked my fit, new frames, coffee in hand, stroller right there.
Then she walked up to us.
And I heard the younger me clear as day, like he could see ahead a flash in time..
“look at you… that’s what I’m talking about. proud of you.”
