Five Years Ago

Five years ago you fit in your Mom's arms as though they were made for the sole chore of holding you.

Five years ago you made me realize that you can love more than just one girl.

Five years ago you helped us realize that we could be better than we imagined.

Five years ago you changed the way that I saw the world.

Five years ago you helped me love your Mom even more than I already did, and that seemed impossible.

Five years ago you were born and I learned that I could be so much better at being your Dad than at anything else I'd ever tried.

Happy Birthday Zo.  Five years is an awfully long time when every day you're changing our lives.
