One day old Dad

One day old Dad

A dream came true!  

One morning I opened my eyes waking-up as a Dad and everything changes.  No more gimmiks, hang-outs, and darn Basketball, oh My', is it for real?  Wait a minute guys, is not really the End of the World.  In fact, its another stage in our life that we have faithfully accomplished.  Being a Dad doesn't mean your ending those fun activities in your life.  As we are bound to experience a life changing event, which we might find uneasy with.  You will notice that its not that bad at all.  Imagine seing an angel just starting to open its eyes and you wonder, do you deserved this kind of Blessing? Is it really yours to have?   Would you be a good father or a good man to my wife after all this years?  To all your sacrifices, hardship and misfortune, you will then get the opportunity to prove that you will be a good father and a good husband.  There is no word, in this world that can compare this moment.  Yes, you might look back to your old ways, but sure you'll find a wider purpose in life.  A drive, a push and perhaps a strength which will propel you to a greater heights.  

Another reason for you to go beyond your normal life besides being a dad, opens the opportunity to change, a change which you have been wishing and dying for ever since.  Gone are the days were you just think of yourself as a normal guy on the street, who fill-in the gaps between friends and office mates in terms of conversation and camaraderie.  Now you'll start developing the urge to go home and see that one sweet smile of your own.  Adding to a wonderful smile of your wife, now you get to see an angel smiling upon you, with a soft skin, and out of this world facial reactions.  

The first smile, the first burp, the first cry, and the first time he or she holds your hands.  In one single reaction, you'll find out that Yes! I am ready to be a Dad.  

I'm sure every person knows the reason why we celebrate Father's Day.  Its not about being a Father, and its not even about being parent.  Its about being a New you, an improved version and an up-graded version of guy called Dad.

So let us rejoice for we are now called Dad.
