On Being a Family
Michael September 12th, 2008
I’ve been thinking lately of how, just a few short years ago, before I met my wife, I had it set in my mind that I didn’t want to settle down, get married and have kids.
Then I met Amy…
Although it took awhile for me to realize it (and she was REALLY patient), she was the only woman I had met with whom I could be completely myself. And along with that realization came the awareness that I loved her. Truely loved her. Could not comprehend being apart from her.
Out of that love, I came to understand what it meant to share everything with someone. And that sharing became a desire that I never thought I would feel… to have a family!
Well, now we are a family; Amy, Camden, Jackson, and myself; and I can’t understand how I didn’t want to have my own. Playing with Camden is a complete joy, he is so fun to be around. And just holding Jackson touches my heart so poignantly. And the way my wife looks at me and the boys when we’re together… I now live for that look.
Thank you Amy, for letting me be myself, I love you.
Michael…
