Hey Decker,
It’s been so long since I’ve written a “Letter to Decker.” I’m sorry. I’ve been so busy. We’ve been so busy.
You just started walking. You had been taking two, occasionally three, little steps before plunging forward. A few nights ago you took about eight steps from me to Mommy. She scooped you up and screamed and danced. Our boy was walking!
I thought it’d be a slow process until you were walking a ton, but, sure enough, when I picked you up the next day you were walking all around. Everybody loves you at day care. Everybody.
Life moves fast. You’re walking. I probably haven’t written to you in months.
But you smile everyday. We see each other everyday. I try to make you laugh everyday. And I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. You and your mom make me ecstatic.
Love you, Decker
Dad
