to my son, noah. you will be here soon. i stumbled across this song today for the first time in a year or so. it hit me, hard. as im typing this i have it on repeat. im tearing up a bit too, tears of joy, happiness and anxiousness. you’re going to be great, you’re going to be amazing and i pray nothing but blessings over you.

you’re not even here yet and i already dont want you to grow up. its going to be hard but its going to be fun. your brother jack is amazing and is already the kind of kid who will always be your best friend, you’re going to love him. we have a dog, hope, mom acts like she doesnt like her but i dont always believe it. hope is… high strung. thats really all i can say about her.

you have a couple cousins who are great too, lexi and chase. lexi is, haha well, like hope, shes high strung : ) but shes also crazy sweet and and a great big sister to chase. chase is only 8 weeks old as of today, hes been a little dose of what you will bring. his birth has only gotten me more excited for you, that kid is legit.

i could probably write to you all day with so many stories, warnings and advice but we have plenty of time for all of that. like this song says “I can’t wait to hold your little hand. Hold your hand, child. Hold your hand”

if the first glimpse you get of me is passing out, sorry, this is heavy stuff.

so with all of that said, i pray you change the world, even if its the world of a single person. you’ve already changed mine.

Give, give, give
How to give it all to someone not yet born
That must be how
We’ve learned to love
