3285 days ago

3285 days ago (9 years) was one of those "Defining Moments" for me. It was the day I officially became a father.
Bethany Irene was born and I now suddenly had this huge responsibility to take care of this small fragile person. 9 years later she's still fragile in certain ways and the responsibility hasn't diminished in any way. I got up this morning, made chocolate chip pancakes for her and her sister and put them on the school bus.
Time goes by quickly, I need to improve on enjoying every second with them because if I keep blinking too much, they'll be out of the house before long.
What I find so amazing is the insight that God gives to us once we become parents. It's amazing how many times He's given me the opportunity to see how he must look at me sometimes when I look at my girls. Awesome.
I often wish sometimes we could turn the clock back so we could enjoy them longer. Or at least turn it back to that day 9 years ago when I filled my car up with gas @ .89 per gallon.
