There will be a time. When little hands won’t tug at my shirt to be picked up just for fun. When a nose can be blown without assistance. When scrapes and cuts can heal without magical kisses. When little toes won’t tickle the small of my back throughout the night looking to get comfortable. When I can walk past the front door without having to move tiny shoes that never find their way back to the shoe bin. When I can open the fridge and not have to peer around a small, curious head for my next meal. When an exhausted little person wont rest his head sleepily on my shoulder, yawning contently in my ear. When hugs become less frequent. When my daily “welcome homes” won’t consist of unbridled laughter, ear to ear smiles and open armed embraces. When dependency gives way to independence. When I can sit in awkward silence and just be. When there won’t be crayon markings needing cleaned off of walls from a budding artist. When imaginary food won’t be fed to me. When “Daddy” simply becomes “Dad”. That time can stay in the future. -Josh K-
