Blog Say What

Well I'm new to this.  Maybe I'll figure it out.  Maybe I won't. Who knows? As a new parent (well, Zoe is almost 2, but I still feel new to the game) so many things rush through your mind, through your heart.  You have so many questions.  So few answers. You have so many battles, within and without. And your mind never shuts off.  

That's why I thought doing a blog may help me sort things out a bit.  Maybe it will serve as a reminder to how far I've come as a dad, and not how far short I am. 

Either way, one day Zoe may be able to sit down and read her dad's mind.  Literally.  Not knowing what your parents think, or how they feel can be crushing to a child. Unfortunately it can also define the way they see themselves for many years.  My hope is that putting things down in writing will help me to make sure I say things out loud.  

One thing is for certain: Zoe will have lots of questions throughout the years.  But one question that she should never entertain is how her daddy feels about her.  She WILL know my affection and love for her.  She will know that she inspires me to be a better me.
