    A silent thought that now demanded my attention.
    The universe knew exactly how to reveal this to me.
    A problem that I fixed had finally released me from its bind.
    I was going home.
    The road hugged my tires like excited friends reuniting,
    Usually a 7 1/2 min walk, stretched to a 13 min run.
    13 min , the length of a how to video that I’m sure I’ll be frequenting more.
    The garage door
    creaked opened &
    I was ushered inside.
    The love of my life,
    I husband to her Bride
    her face full of:
    fear,
    wonder ,
    here,
    follow me!
    She exclaimed.
    Every noise on the planet dissipated except our foot steps:
    ile, carpet, tile.
    The light switch felt like the weight of the world.
    I found strength from your love to flip it.
    A stranger awaited me in my own bathroom .
    I was to confront this foe without any idea that my life had found the meaning i was searching for
    A vacuum of time,
    my life In the rear view.
    Thankful that I saw words,
    instead of lines on that clearview.
    But I only see one, where is the “not?”
    What a terrible malfunction,
    how could they have forgot?
    Then, the beacon of truth
    began to break through the mystery.
    Those 8 letters have the chance to
    alter history:
    PREGNANT
    Every emotion that I’ve ever felt became
    unified-
    all the pain of my adolescence,
    all the courage of my youth,
    all the fun of my independence,
    all the worry of my work,
    all the adoration for your mom,
    They All joined together
    to bring me this unmatchable joy.
    The true essence of what it means to feel happiness,
    I get to be a dad to a beautiful Baby Boy.

    • Dear RW, your letter beautifully expresses the transformative experience of becoming a father. The emotions and joy you describe are truly heartwarming. I am sure your son will grow up to remember how amazing of a father you are to him.
