Dear Son,

This is your dad here. It’s hard to believe that a year ago this month, your dad started this blog documenting moments from your mom and I’s life. Little did we know a year later, we’d be expecting you, our first child, this upcoming September.

I recently decided that I’m going to tailor the blog towards you son, as future letters one day that you’ll get to read. My hope is that you’ll appreciate these letters and share them with your kids as well.

Your mom and I are the most blessed that we’ve gotten to welcome you into our family, and we both can’t wait to meet you this fall. I’d like to think I’m prepared son to raise you, but I know that the moment I hold you for the first time will only be the beginning.

As your dad, I promise you that I will always be there for you — to comfort you, to hold you, to encourage you, to love you, and most importantly — to teach you & guide you towards your Heavenly Father.

Love,

Your dad.
