Lead the way

For a long time I followed a path which I laid out, planned, coordinated and thought was the right one. I wasn't always making the most money or completing the greatest things but I was down a road which I felt happy with. Then on December 10th 2015 a little girl came into my life. The path changed..

My once long nights out turned into rocking in a chair till she fell asleep, my once waking up at 1PM turned into waking up at 8AM to make sure we didn't miss the new Sesame street. I can look back at those days and nights now and see how lost I was. I can remember coming home at 3AM from a night out and laughing with my friends thinking this was the best time of my life. But after nights in watching Finding Dory, eating snacks and playing hide and seek with her, nothing compares. My life now belongs to a now 16 month old little girl. Everything I strive to be and accomplish is so she can live the happiest life possible.

I like to think she wasn't just brought into my life to be my daughter, but rather to show me a greater path. To push me to be the best version of my self, to push me to build a life of success, to bring me the greatest gift I have ever received. Motivation to be great.

I say all the time that Ella leads the way. She lead me to being a better man, friend, harder worker and most of all she lead me to open my life to possibilities I once thought I was not capable of. Ella, when you see this. Thank you.
