Dear Bollito,
I’m so excited to welcome you into this world. You’ve been a long time coming and will be in my arms soon. I have many hopes and dreams for the Dad that I will be to you. It’s my most important role yet.
I hope that as Dad I can help make your life everything you could possibly dream up.
I hope that as Dad I can make you laugh and bring you so much joy.
I hope that as Dad I can guide you to think for yourself and be yourself.
I hope that as Dad I can protect you and keep you safe from harm.
I hope that as Dad I can challenge you and push you outside of your comfort zone.
I hope that as Dad I can provide you with opportunities to learn and grow every day.
I hope that as Dad I can be there for you whenever you need me.
Ultimately, I hope that as Dad you will feel my unconditional love for you.
I love you.
M

My thoughts are subject to change and I will get some things wrong. I promise to keep learning and strive to do better. I am by no means an expert on any topic I may discuss so always do your own research. I try to keep an open mind. If I can teach you something and also learn something from you then I'm doing what I set out to do. Thanks for reading. These are just some thoughts.
