On this day, back in 1982, a
beautiful baby boy was welcomed into the world. He was the cutest baby that the
doctors and staff at the hospital had ever seen. Word spread quickly about this
young tyke through the halls of the maternity ward, people declaring, “You just
have to go see him, he’s heaven sent!” The hospital was flooded by reporters
wanting interviews with the mother of this angel child, who they had since
dubbed, “Knee High”, due to the fact that he came out wearing knee high
basketball socks and all white Chuck Taylors. After a few days of pandemonium,
the hospital seemed to calm down and my mother was able to take me (oh! Did I not
mention this story was about my birth? Oops!) home.
I am not
going to go into my complete life story, people don’t want to hear it and I
personally don’t want to put it out there. I had an amazing childhood, I absolutely
could not have asked for a better upbringing. I grew up in a house where I can
never recall my parents even having the tiniest of fights and where family was
always the most important thing, no matter what. I never wanted for anything,
my parents worked their asses off to provide for my brother and me, and for
that I will always be thankful. I feel truly blessed that I got the opportunity
to grow up in such a loving household, something I try to bring into my home
now that I have a family of my own. I have always said if I could be just half
the parent that my mom and dad were, then I am doing a pretty fantastic job. To
this day, at 29 years old, I feel the same love from and for my parents that I
did when I was just a little guy running around with no shoes or socks on,
diaper slam full of fun!
There is
not enough time in the day to go into details about my life from the ages of
19-24; those were labeled my “dark days”. I had what some people might consider
a little trouble with drinking, which led to bad decisions and strains on my
family life. Bottom line, my parents never left my side, no matter what sort of
craziness I had gotten myself into, and for that I will always be thankful. They
could have easily left me stranded to handle things on my own, but not once did
they ever turn their back on me. I mean shit; I would have left me if I could.
Enough about those days, the important thing is that I am here, alive and well,
able to celebrate my birthday with the people I love most in life.

This
will be the first birthday that I get to spend with my princess, Gabriella. It
means the world to me, even though she has no idea of what a birthday is yet,
just her being there will be so memorable. Today, I am able to say that I could
not be any happier in life. I have the most loving wife who puts up with my
shit on a daily basis, two beautiful children and a family full of people that love
me. Mom and Dad, thank you for everything you have done for me in life, I would
be nowhere without the love and support you have provided over the years. Cody,
I could not ask for a better brother to share life with and watch grow up. You will
be so successful one day and I look forward to getting to watch it happen. Your
love for my daughter means more than you will ever know. Hope, what can I say,
you are my foundation. Without you, I would be completely lost, going nowhere
at a rapid pace. Life with you is amazing; I could not imagine a more perfect
life than the one we live together. You have blessed me with the most beautiful
little girl I have ever laid eyes on, a little mini version of you (that could
be trouble J
). I love you more than you will ever know, thank you for all of your support
and love that you continue to provide to me every day. I look forward to what
the future has in store for us; it will be nothing short of amazing.
