A Letter

Dear Wolfgang,
At some point in the future, you might be reading over these old blogs. If you are, there are a few important things you should know about your daddy. For starters, your diapers make him dry-heave. The first time he had to change a dirty diaper, I was in the bath tub and he was trying to change you on the bed just outside the bathroom door. I head some funny noises and I said, "Everything ok out there?" Your daddy said, "I just dry heaved three times in the corner!"
Apparently you had unleashed the "worst diaper" in history.
Last night we were playing cards and you decided to give him an early Father's Day gift. Neither he or Enkidu appreciated it.

I want you to know how hard he is working on his research and how much pressure he has on him at this point: He's working extremely hard. And the pressure is heavy! But he makes sacrifices to be home with us. He can hardly stand to be away from the house because he wants to see you growing. He misses you when he's away. To him, you are one of the most wonderful things he has ever seen and ever been a part of.
I know that Father's (parents) make mistakes and its not always as easy showing love to a teenager as it is to a baby. But I want you to know that your dad is so proud of you. He talks to you and plays baby-games with you and wonders what you'll be and do. He loves you with all his daddy-heart. YOU are his greatest Father's Day gift.
We love you,
Mama
