Unabashed

Tomorrow is the day. My second baby will be born. I’ll name him William Roland Mitchell and call him Liam. I know tomorrow is the day because he is due the 25th, but my wife’s doctor says she doesn’t want to work Xmas, so she told us to pick a birthday. Some three weeks ago we chose Dec 18th, and tomorrow is the day. My wife is understandably nervous, as am I to a different degree altogether, but nonetheless unsettled, anxious and a little bit apprehensive. William Roland’s brother is Lucas Logan, aged 26 mos. Tomorrow is the day; I will be a father of two, and he will be the last of my brood. I’m 37, soon to be too old for this.

Tomorrow is the day. My life changes, one way or the other, for better or for worse, but without a doubt life will change tomorrow.

To God, Allah, Yahweh, Buddha and the Great Spirit: I pray for a healthy child. /prayer

Merry Xmas, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Winter Solstice.

To Santa Clause, Mohamed and Jesus: A little snow would be nice, just for once this century :-)
