The other night I was imagining life without the children. Life, if Lisa and I met, as we did in our mid-thirties, and decided that kids were not for us. I thought about the trips, adventures, and excitement we would have. Paris, Hawaii, concerts, parties; places and experiences that are harder (if not impossible) with kids in tow. A tiny smile crept across my face.
But it was really just a tangential thought. I could imagine a life without the boys but I would not want it. While fleetingly attractive, there is nothing about that life that fits my heart. My heart belongs to Lisa and the boys and Sam.
In fact, I knew - very early in our brief courtship - that I would marry Lisa because I knew I wanted to be a dad again. The father to her children.
Lisa is a great mom. The boys could not ask for more. Sam could not ask for a nicer step-mom. We are all blessed with her in our lives.
Today I honor my partner and best friend on Mother's Day!
