Here we are - 23 straight days Of running and blogging and going strong. It has been an interesting 23 days and we've learned a lot about ourselves, each other, our friends and family and, of course, Noah.
I've learned that, in 11+ years together and 4+ in marriage, Susan's determination and drive has rubbed off on me a bit. I didn't quite know what to expect with this streak. I must say that I am proud of myself and it feels good...makes me think I can handle this fatherhood thing! About my wife - I've learned how much someone can love another person unconditionally. The way she is with Noah each and everyday is amazing, despite the challenges. About our friends - how important they are and how many great friends we have made over the years. It's also been amazing to see those who maybe haven't been our closest friends now become the greatest sources of encouragement and empathy. And, many of out closest friends have been just that - thankfully not a surprise. What have we learned about our families - quite simply, family is truly always there for you. We have cried and laughed with them, talked and sang, walked and run, knowing that they have always and will always be there for Noah and us. Finally - what have we learned about Noah. Too much to write here. These past couple of weeks, he has really developed as a little person and I'm so proud of what he does everyday. As I've mentioned before, even at this young age, he has a personality that you just want to be around and he truly is a special boy. Now it's up to us to make sure that the sky is truly the limit for him, that nothing holds him back from being whatever he wants to be, and he doesn't lose this unbelievable spirit that he seems to possess. An amazing little boy - he'll find his place in this world someday and I have a feeling it will truly be great...but for now, this is Noah's Place...and we couldn't be happier.
