THE JOURNEY: This week was a big step in my transformation into duel parenthood. What I mean is that I took on a very uncomfortable role that would have been in Barbs realm. I would have gladly never have been involved in this in a million years because I feel I entered into the world of the female. Yes, I took my youngest daughter to have her ears pierced. Not only did I step into a world I don't understand, but the pictures on the walls of where piercing can go were a little overwhealming. I had know idea that they could put metal in those places. It was like walking into a dream, with flowing water, art work and big couches. OK, I know what you are thinking. Man up and take it for the team. I did and it was just one more step on the journey of becoming the super dad. Think I need some air. Oh, and my daughter.....she looks beautiful.



THE BURDEN

THE RELATIONSHIP YOU HAD
BLENDED SO WELL TOGETHER
CREATED A BOND
OF NOT BEING SEPERATED

YOU THOUGHT TOGETHER
EVERTHING AS ONE
THE ENERGY MELTED INTO A COHESIVE
STRENGTH THAT WAS NEEDED

NOW THAT THEY ARE GONE
YOU HAVE A SEPARATE LIFE
YOU THINK AS ONE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO

NO LONGER RELYING ON EACH OTHER TO DECIDE
YOU ENTER A PLACE OF UNCERTAINTY
YOU MIGHT BE AFRAID TO MOVE AHEAD
TO MAKE A LIFE OF DECISIONS

BUT KNOW IN YOUR HEART
THAT YOUR LOVED ONE
IS THERE HELPING YOU TO CARRY THE BURDEN
