Today, I took on a new role.
No contract.
No salary.
No weekends off.
No exit clause.
Just a lifelong commitment
written quietly
on my heart.
It comes with a job description
no manual can fully explain.
24/7 responsibility.
Resource management.
Crisis handling.
Client care.
Values formation.
Leadership by example.
Every day.
Every night.
For the rest of my life.
The compensation isn’t monetary.
But the benefits
are beyond anything
I’ve ever known.
Because this role gives you
sleepless nights,
but it also gives you
mornings filled with purpose.
It tests your patience.
Your strength.
Your priorities.
And then it expands your heart
in ways you never imagined possible.
Today, I took on a role
that changes how I see everything.
How I work.
How I dream.
How I pray.
How I measure success.
I am now responsible
for more than just myself.
For someone who will watch me
before he listens to me.
Who will learn more from my actions
than from my words.
Someone who will look to me
for safety,
for honesty,
for love,
for direction.
Today, I became a father.
And suddenly,
the world feels bigger.
And more fragile.
And more meaningful.
All at once.
I know I will make mistakes.
I know I will get tired.
I know I will fall short.
But I also know
I will keep showing up.
Every day.
Because nothing matters more
than being worthy
of this trust.
Grateful beyond words
for this blessing.
And for my incredible wife.
For her strength.
Her grace.
Her courage.
For bringing our little miracle
into this world.
She is the quiet hero
of this story.
I am forever changed.
Forever humbled.
Forever thankful.
And ready
to grow into the man
my child deserves.
