Dear Whateveryournameisgoingtobe,
Hi! I’m your Dad. You don’t know me, yet. Heck, you don’t know anyone. But I already love you. I already have dreams for you. Not dreams of being a movie star or a professional athlete (that would be nice), but dreams of your happiness and the contagiousness of your smile.
I’ve waited for this for so long. I’ve waited for you for so long. In nine months, we will finally meet. My heart will never be the same.
I also have the swine flu. I was sleeping when your mother walked in and threw a pacifier at me. That’s how I found out.
I already knew it.
You are going to be the most expensive turkey sandwich I’ve ever had. I will tell you more about that when you turn 20.
I love you today, tomorrow, and forever.
Dad
P.S. That feels so awesome to be able to say that.
