The Story About Fatherhood

So many memories are flooding back this week as we are adjusting to having Oz at home.  Hard to believe that he is only six days old. 

We were a little late on the draw, but Steve always knew that he wanted to be a Dad, and he was certain he wanted a boy and a girl, as I've mentioned before.  He must have really felt my ambivalence about having children.  I was never sure that I would be good at it.  I don't know why...maybe worried I couldn't handle the responsibility when I barely have myself together?

I still remember when we were having a "maybe we should get married" conversation one day, and Steve finally looked at me and said..."But I want to have children someday!"  And I told him that we would, and that we could and that I was ready.  And it was still a bit of time after that until the wedding transpired...but it opened the door for us to get married. 

He fiercely loves being a Daddy.
