On becoming a father..

There’s a little over 2 weeks left before our baby Hannah’s due date. Yuka and I have had some good talks about becoming parents. We’re very excited, but at the same time quite nervous. One of the biggest concerns I have had recently is what we’re going to teach her in terms of faith and morals. Yuka and I, coming from very different cultural backgrounds, naturally have some differences in opinion when it comes to that stuff. My guess is that all parents go through that same struggle. No matter how similar two people are, there are going to be differences. I’m worried though that Hannah will ask some big question to Yuka and I separately, and we’ll end up giving her different answers. Does that happen to everybody? Are different answers ok?

I see little children around town (in parks, restaurants, etc) and my heart just fills with excitement about our baby. When my mom died from breast cancer nearly 10 years ago, I thought I would never feel ‘complete’ again in my life. After marrying Yuka, I have experienced true happiness and contentment again. I know that baby Hannah will bring even more joy into our already happy family.
