Jack is so small. Every time I hold him, I'm reminded of how long we remain innocent. He's only three days old, and he's perfect. It will be a long time before he discovers lust, alcohol, revenge, deceit, infidelity and debt. For as long as I can, I plan on shielding him from the shit this world has to offer. I want kids at school to be nice to him. I want girls to find him attractive. I want him to be an exceptional athlete. I never want him to smoke. I want him to be valedictorian. Most of all, I want him to be happy. Truly and consistently happy.
