The Best Days

First there was the night I wore Bass Weejuns and read a Thomas Maguane story out of the New Yorker to your mother moments before she became you mother. And then there was the night we watched Tron until your mother said Turn it off and she became your mother. And I saw it all. The strength of her body and soul and heart. And I was never prouder to be by her side as you both fully arrived into the world, each a miracle that forever made me more than I ever imagined I could be. 

Grady and Liam I love you.
