Journaling:  This is the very first picture of you and daddy together.  We were so unprepared to be parents.  Oh, we had everything for you; diapers, clothes, every possible solution to every possible scenario, but we did not realize the impact it would have on our hearts.  Seeing this picture, this beginning, still makes me catch my breath in my throat. Matthew, there are a few things that you need to know about your daddy.  He is the most loving and caring man I know but he has a hard time showing it.  You dad will have your back in EVERY possible way and will be there if you just HINT that you need him.  He is a very strong man and will try to defeat all your fears. Yes, you will have your tough times, but that is what makes us who we are and a relationship as strong as it can be. I am sure that as you grow, you and your father will not always see eye-to-eye.  Please remember that he only wants what is best for you and does not want to see you make the same missteps that he did.  He has been there, he has done it all, and he has the knowledge to help guide you through.  Always trust and lean on him for whatever you need.  This picture only represents the beginning; there is no end to his love for you.   -Mommy
