A Father’s Love – For Mike (and Heather too)
Today is a pretty big day around here, today this little guy turns 1 month old…
today this guy is celebrating his first Father’s Day as something more than someone’s son…
and today this guy is missing his little girl…
I don’t think I could find the words to describe the thousands of emotions that I have swirling around my head right now if I sat here all night trying. I simply can’t imagine how hard today (and everyday) will be for Mike and his family. It breaks my heart that all I can do is send my love through the wires and hope that it offers a fraction of peace.

Sometimes, the best we can do is share a person’s experience and let them know we have their back. That while we may not how they feel, we recognize that there are days that are just going to suck beyond the telling of it.
So today we celebrate firsts. Just a very few of Maddie’s firsts from the Spohr family flickr photostream:
First time being held by daddy
First time being held by mommy
Chillin’ after the first bath
First Christmas
First Sunshine, First Car Ride
First nap when a totally embarrassing picture of Mike was taken
First Baseball Game
Leave some love for Mike here or over at Room 704.
