It has been 8 months since I've sat down to blog, and my lack of writing has not been because there is nothing going on in life - quite the opposite. My blogging came to a screeching halt right before our third child, Christopher John was born, and for one reason or another - I just never started back up. Perhaps it was because life became too consuming, perhaps it was because I didn't feel the need to continue to share my inmost thoughts, or perhaps sharing my life with anyone around me wasn't a concern anymore. Whatever the reason, a series of events that are about to occur in my life are causing me to reconsider the need to document my life for posterity and for those around me who read this.
The first of those events is the fact that Katherine, our oldest, is headed to Kindergarten tomorrow. There are emotions and feelings going around in my head that are unlike any others that I have experienced. I am experiencing so many emotions about this occasion, that it is really difficult for me to even put my finger on all of them. I am excited, I am nervous for her, I am anxious for her and I am sad. It feels like I have reach another "milestone", and it's a milestone that I don't want to let slip by without doing something so that I can remember, for all time, how I feel as a father.
I think that this is such an emotional experience for me because I have come to love my daughter so deeply.
