To a wonderful father

I know it may seem weird coming from me as your wife but with Father’s Day in the horizon. I thought to write you a letter. Being the father of our child, and having another on the way. there is no better way for me to express my pride in you in having managed to hold up your end of the fatherhood bargain: So far by being the best dad for Cebaby,  our baby—as we call him,  and also the fact that I think you will make the best dad for our number two baby.

Involved dad
It may have seemed daunting at first, being a dad and all. but you put so much effort in finding out what the best way would be to raise Cebaby and his soon to be born sibling. I must admit that this pregnancy has been a much easier one knowing that you will come out on top of things as a dad and that you will not throw a fit like Cebaby does when things do not go his way. You still manage to play with Cebaby even if it is only for a few minutes just before he goes to bed and this has an amazing impact on him because in the morning he still comes to look for you.

Similar looks
Did you ever imagine how much you and Cebaby would look alike when he was still in my womb? A carbon copy of you he is! As much as I would like to brag about the fact that he has my eyes or whatever, he does really look like you. What about the one we are expecting? I wonder if he has your feet. But lets not talk about the football legs. Ail the same. I know your impact as a dad on this unborn baby will be just as great as it is on Cebaby. I am sure you think about it occasionally and as much as sometimes I go to bed with swollen feet and a sore back because you were too tired to massage me. you still desire to be the best dad to our children.

‘All the same,
I know your
impact as a dad
on this unborn
baby will be just
as great as it is on
Cebaby.’

Best foot forward
Fatherhood can never be like Motherhood. I will never know how it feels like to be a first time dad or a second time dad for that matter, but I do know that you will always put your best foot forward with every challenge and new day that comes—and with every new baby. Our children will never be the same in character or mannerism: they may even not look alike, but with all their uniqueness. I know you will do your very best to keep a calm and positive outlook toward their future. Cebaby is noisy and has much to do every day. keeping us on our toes, and adding colour to our lives. But I know from our conversations that you look forward to seeing how this child we are expecting will be. It is amazing that you choose not to stress about the sex of the baby and all the hullabaloo that most of our cultures have about naming children. I have relaxed this time round knowing that you will stand up for whatever decision we make where this baby is concerned and not let everyone walk all over us with their opinion. I am truly proud to be the mother of your children.

Tackling challenge
Challenges have been there, but taking every step at a time hos mode it easier to trust and know that you have what it takes to be the best dad for our babies. No one else can be there for them in the way that you have and will be. It’s interesting that the baby am carrying has no clue what you as their dad looks like—but he will come to this world with the innate desire to connect with you in a very special way. They say that as soon as the father of the baby sees the new born they immediately bond.
I have heard some friends tell me as much and I saw it in your eyes when Cebaby was born. The bond you have with this baby is much greater than you will ever know.

Forever grateful
Thanks for standing up to the challenge and doing your best to bring up Cebaby. and also for endeavouring to be a better dad everyday. Your place in their lives is indispensable and cannot be measured in any way. form or fashion. God plays an important role in our lives and is the source of all fatherhood. Thanks for endeavouring to find out what His desire is for you as Cebaby’s dad and our unborn child: for always putting our children first in your wing. Happy Father’s Day.
