On Imminent Fatherhood

Oh, the Anticipation!

It's an odd feeling to not have met your actual baby before they are born but to be 100% confident that you will love them forever, and that they will equally love you back (or so you hope).  In anticipation of their adoration, ability to challenge, willingness to confide, and (potential adolescent) despise of you at various times over the course of multiple decades, you plan for every aspect of their arrival by choosing colors you think they'll like and names that might sound good on them. And without having ever seen their face or heard their voice, you also know it will be grand, with a partner-of-your-highest-choosing alongside for the ride, to anticipate, fear, and delight in what is supposedly one of the best things to happen in life.

Happy Father's Day to all, and especially to my roommate, AR.
