The greatest moment of my life happens every morning. By that I mean, almost every day I have a new moment that is the new best moment of my entire life. It’s awesome.
I start work early every morning. I’m already up and working (hopefully) when Ivy starts to wake up. Beth has the monitor by the bed, so I can hear when Ivy starts to stir.
When I see Ivy in the morning, her face is the most pure form of joy I’ve ever seen. In turn, that brings me the most joy I’ve ever experienced. Seeing her light up and grin ear to ear and be SO happy, it’s indescribable.
I can imagine her thinking, “Oh, you’re still here! This is amazing! You’re still my dad! I’m so glad to see you!”
That’s what her smile says to me.
This parenting thing is super hard. It’s beyond exhausting (more to come on that in the next post). There’s a lot of stress and pressure. The life of a tiny human is in our hands, after all.
But that moment where Ivy smiles at me in the morning, makes this, without question, the best experience of life.
