And 5weeks+ lata he still grows

Yeah. Treasure every moment!
It's so easy to get wrapped up in the day-to-days & then turn around & suddenly find it's all gone. My daughter's just got her nose pierced & is going out now with her first serious girlfriend... but it seems like just the other day her main concerns were barbies & bratz dolls.
My boy is 9yo now & I make the most of every day because I know it'll be no time at all that he'll be up & gone. It still seems like no time at all that he was my little baby.... Christ he was only 3yo when he first met John. I don't know if he can even remember a time when John wasn't in his life in some way or another. But to me it's been such a short time.
My friends ask me why I never yell at my kids (as in 'loose my temper' type yelling), I think it's because, having seen John go through the 'empty nest syndrome' when the last of his kids left home. & how much he wished he could go back & really appreciate the times with them that he'd been to busy or tired to appreciate at the time, made me determined to make sure that I did spend the time now, while I still have the chance. Because you really can't go back & do it later.
Such a cliche I know, but unfortunately only because it's true.
 
I understand. As my first I have to learn by mistakes, hopefully I wont make too many as I have a damn good family and friends around me to help me along the way. Plus the mother and I are really close and she has girls aswell so I know she'll be there for me along the way too. And if I go wrong, well I know for sure she will correct me lol. I dont want to muck this up. I may never get to have another child.....He is truely amazing

Heres to fatherhood :)
