Emilia's Journal

Dear Emilia,

Every other dad I know had told me how you would change my life. Some dads went through detailed arguments, point by point, on how the world would change once you came in to it. Other dads would simply say, “Your life will change, you’ll see,” without offering any explanation other than a simple nod.

After your mom worked for hours and hours to bring you into the world, I understood all of the dads immediately when I first held you in my arms. You looked into my eyes, and my world changed. In thousands of enumerable ways, my world changed, and in one big unexplainable way, my world changed.

And now, it’s our world. We can’t wait to show it to you.

Love, Dad
