Logan Sailor Hicks is born!
Its been a busy week, to say the least. On Thursday, October 11th, 2007, at 12:42 pm, my girlfriend gave birth to my son. His name is Logan Sailor Hicks. He weighed 8.3 lbs and was 20 inches.
It's impossible to talk about bringing a life into this world without sounding like a cliche. It's remarkable how much this makes you reflect on your life, the people in your life, and what your future holds. Part of me thought that I would be feel more vulnerable, or feel like I was spread too thin in my life. I thought that I would feel scattered and unable to focus on work and my personal life. Nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is that I have never felt stronger, and I have never felt more focused. It's like things matter more now. Knowing that I have someone that will learn about this world from my actions, and my attitude means that I am more driven to set a positive example. To pursue my dreams with and unparalleled tenacity. I do not know what the future will hold for me, but I do know that I will greet every challenge that life has to offer, and I will do so shoulder to shoulder with my son.
This is a beautiful life.
