Where do I begin...
A baby was born. A beautiful baby boy. His name is Everett.
This precious baby came into our lives thirteen years ago and I have been forever changed.
It is funny how new parents build a human in the brain.
You know...
He will look like his father.
He'll have his mothers smarts and his father's athletic abilities.
No...
He'll have his father's wits and his mother's common sense.
How about...
He'll have his grandfather's chin and be the next superstar NBA player.
Or...
He'll become a man of great power and lead the nation out of its wretched debt and into prosperity.
Dreams.
Yes, we built dreams. We shaped a human baby boy into the shape of our imaginations.
Expectations are a treacherous thing.
But I did not know that thirteen years ago.
