I turned 26 this year and was glad to have my son with me on that special day. As I step back and look at all that’s been done in my short time of life I can hardly wrap my head around all of it.
I think one of my biggest faults in life is comparing my life to others or trying to somehow live up to expectations that no one really set but myself.
At times I feel as if I’ve done nothing, improved very little and experienced hardly anything worth talking about like it seems so many other people my age have done.
Then I hear a soft voice say, “Daddy?” It’s my son, and whether it’s just time see if I’m paying attention or he really needs something. I reminded of how much I really have achieved just by looking into is perfect beautiful face.
This year I turned 26 and it was my best birthday yet. Instead of looking back on my life I looked down. To find my biggest best achievement in life that no one can ever match take away from me or belittle . My hotdog stuffed, ketchup covered beautiful boy who asked daddy if he can have more.
I’ve never been so happy in my life.
