Smiling

I didn't realize I could ever be this good at it.  My little loves are here, and I am the happiest man alive just to be with them, and for them to be with me.  I realize that I'll have to do whatever I can to keep that happiness alive when they are back with their Mom again, but the way this has felt for me, I wonder that I could ever not be happy again just knowing that they're in the world somewhere, growing, learning, and walking around with that piece of my heart in their chests next to theirs.  So proud, and so scared of what the future holds, but too thankful for being able to be their Dad to care about all that right now.  This is my purpose in life now and I think it does just fine to keep me warm at night...
