And The Giant Beanstalk

I have been a father for fourteen years today.

Fourteen years ago, this tiny little bean dropped into my life. I was laughably unprepared, as we all are. But I had the greatest support system in the world, and in that fine, fine garden my little bean grew.

Now, my mighty Beanstalk is as capable, charming, clever, curious, and creative as any in her generation. She is a marvelous young woman, and I am proud of her every single day.

Happy birthday, my love. You have made me better with your own perfection, and I am grateful for every second with you.
