The week during mid April is the week that changed my life. Starting from the 15th of April my pregnant wife started having contractions. A few days later, exactly one month after St Patrick's day on the 17th my son was born.
My first child was born in the middle of Spring and the middle of the day at the same time former president of Peru Alan Garcia shot himself in the head to defy arrest and life. We gave him the name Jacob.
I am no longer Me, I am Us. I am a family. We are a small family of three but we are us. My son was born and I was filled with love. I felt love and wonder, he is a small little man with his own personality, He will have his own quirks and his own values and his own world to create. He will have his own memories to share. Perhaps he is reading this now.
I hope to get the opportunity to do all the Dad things like unbolt my son's training wheels when he masters his first bike and teach him everything I know. I will steer him away from bad mischievous paths. I will take him to Amusement parks and holidays and hopefully share many happy memories and see him grow into a happy man with his own family.
