It's 2013 and I just got done putting Keira down for a nap. Keira is the name you will give your first born, your only daughter, and the apple of your eye. She is exhausted from a long weekend of camping with her mom and grandparents. I am no longer married to her mom and I am not going to tell you her mother's name. Don't let this stop you from giving all relationships you have everything you've got. It will all work out. You are 33 now and I promise that even-though everything seems crazy, and difficult, and super scary right now, it's 15 years later and you are doing fine. You will have become a great dad, you will have repaired the relationships with your family that you are currently still mending, and you will have some of the best friends a guy could ask for. Believe it or not, a lot of those friends are people you are friends with today. You are going to get to travel the United States and live all over the place. Don't be afraid to take risks. Don't be afraid to push yourself. Most importantly, as you continue to grow and learn as a man, always have confidence and be proud of any accomplishments, big or small. There are going to be some rough spots along the way. You will overcome. There will be times when it feels like the world is going to end. You will be strong and get through whatever it is. I'm not going to lie, at times things will flat out suck. That is part of life. Think about how much you have already overcome just in the last year. None of these battles will be too big.
Keira will teach you what unconditional love means. Embrace that feeling, because there is nothing in the world like it. She will keep you grounded so love her in the way your heart leads you. The things you are passionate about now won't change. (Music, Sports, Ect) Take photos and create memories. As many as you can. Days like today you will be so glad you did. The best part is, one day you will get to pass those passions on to Keira, and she will love them as much as you do.
Stay the course. Trust yourself. Everything is going to be alright, be strong, believe.
