HE WANTS TO LOVE AND HE WANTS TO CARE

Sebastian was sprawled across our new king-size bed this morning, which he had clambered into at some point during the night.

The boy has been tired these last few days. The collective weight of a recent birthday, the holiday season, and a quick whirlwind trip to New York has caught up to him and bowed his little shoulders a bit.

I looked at him as I passed through the bedroom. I dodged creaky floorboards, stifled a cough, then paused to watch his eyelids flutter in the gathering daylight.

“Hi daddy.”

If anyone ever comes to measure my success, let them start right here...
