~I will post pictures of the Birthday boy himself later on today~

This post was written by Daddy right after Ethan was born. It was so special and sweet, it brought tears to my eyes. I wanted to share this with Everyone today.........here it is.................

Lil Ethan,

When I heard the news of you

I did the thing most daddies do

I opened up my heart so wide

For you to have a place inside

I tried to imagine the person you'd be

Would you look or act just like me

I thought of the things we'd do

The times we'd share, just us two

I would hold your hand in mine

Be your protector, strong and kind

I would be your hero and friend

Give advice on which you'd depend

I remember the day you were born

I cradled a miracle, strong and warm

What words I had were scarce and few

A tear was the best that I could do

Life gave me a moment so very rare

Bursting with pride, love and care

I promised you then all that I had

Love, Nathan
