The Paranoia of Losing a Child

As I sit here, the clock is counting down, there is less than an hour left of 2014.  By the time I finish, and most certainly by the time you are reading this, we will have welcomed in the new year! I find myself in a far different place than my typical New Year’s Eve celebration.  I am no longer surrounded by friends or family, no parties, no confetti.  I am alone, on the couch, with a computer and a TV.  Carson Daily has taken a break from his countdown on NBC for the 11 o’clock news.  My wife went to bed an hour and a half ago, and I have a (almost) 6 month old son and daughter sleeping in their cribs.  It might not sound like it to you, but life seriously couldn’t be better!  2014 has been one of the most magical years of my life.  Watching and caring for my two children with my wife for the past 6 months have redefined and reshaped my life entirely.  I have none other than God to thank for these amazing blessings.
