"The Ever Living Ghost of What Once Was"


"No One's Ever Going To Love You As Much As I Do..." - Band of Horses

I play this song for Tess in hopes that someday she realizes the love and adoration that seeps in and out of every pore of my body and soul.

They tell you that having a child will change your life and that it is "the best thing that has ever happened to me." And truly, I have to say that, although a cliche, the words ring true. Not only is she more than Richie and I could have ever dreamed, she has the power to make this complicated and somewhat scary world, beautiful and peaceful. The chaos and the constant hum of everyday annoyances seem less loud and less important.

Her big blue eyes and sweet smile often remind me of my dad. She looks deep and she listens carefully. I see his life and legacy in her and it makes me feel a connection to him that I haven't felt since he died. She is truly a blessing from God.
