Our baby Joseph is turning one in a few weeks. I am excited and can't explain how great it is to have him in our lives. Everyone must experience how awesome it is to have a child of their own. Words can't describe the feeling. I love opening the door after being in school all day long and seeing his huge smile. We all have difficult days at work or school, but children can just fill a room full of sunshine, no matter the circumstance. We should try our best to remember not to bring home our stresses from school or work. Our children look up to us and I keep getting told that they are only young for so long. Well, I am determined to stay focused on my family. Life can get very busy when trying to pursue a medical career, but I never forget that my family is on this long haul with me. We need to take time with our kids, their future depends on us. As parents we teach our children to survive in this crazy world. There are much more obstacles in life today that could hinder our children to succeed. I want to be a mentor for my son, have him look up to me and tell his friends how much he enjoys spending time with his dad. When I look at this picture of Joey and I, all I could think is that right now, I am more than just his dad, I am his mentor, just like a superhero. He looks up to me and I need to show him how to live, learn, and play. I promise that I will be a mentor for my son. I want him to live a full happy life. I don't want him to look back one day and say, "my dad never did this or that with me". And I'll never expect him to become some CEO and wear expensive suits. I just wish for him to be free spirited and let his mind explore the many talents he may have. So remember dads, be a superhero to your kids, they depend on your guidance!
