Well it was what it was, a day that's now mine to celebrate every year but the first one was sure weird. Even today at work everyone was wishing me a "Belated Happy Father's Day". At church yesterday everyone was wishing me a Happy Father's Day. It's kind of like the first time I went to sleep in the same bed as my wife (May 4th, 1996. I'll have you know). You've wanted this for so long but it's here and it's kinda weird.
I: think "Non-Fatherhood" was my last connection to believing I was actually young. I'm not young anymore. Nope. Not me. O L D!! I better start acting like it.
I'm responsible for others now. It's really FREAKY.
I'm not making much sense but all I can say is that when all these people were wishing me a Happy Father's Day, I really didn't FEEL like it was me they were referring to. I guess I'm feeling comfortable DOING Dad things but actually BEING a dad... as in, it's part of my identity, not there yet.
So anyway, since I think most of the traffic on my blog is moms, ask your hubby for some advice. I'm all ears!!
