Being a single father for 8 years, l learned many lessons. I found myself turning into the Grinch with minimal effort around the holidays for several different reasons, and the biggest one was it just being my oldest son and I for the longest time. I thought Santa’s not real, what’s the point, I buy him things all of the time. Of course he’s my world everybody knows that, but something was still missing. It wasn’t lack of affection from him, or from my family; it’s like I lacked fatherhood/manhood and feeling like a failure because it was just him and I. God, The Highest Power, whatever you believe in, the biggest lesson I had to learn, was patience. Everything happens when it’s meant to happen. August 2022 my life would change forever. When you take two people at their lowest in life, they might just reveal the worst in each other. And when it’s time to grow, it’s time to grow. Sometimes when you really love someone, you gotta walk through hell to get to the heavenly gates, and we got to experience both sides of the spectrum like crazy. Quitting is easy. I share this with you because every relationships faces it’s bouts, and nothing is ever perfect. But doing it with the person you had to patiently wait so long for, it’s extra special, and what a journey it’s been with my love in such a short amount of time. I’d wait forever as long as it means I get to choose you in my life, over and over again. Choosing you to be the mother of my children, and partner in life has blessed me everyday. Welcoming our son Daniel into the world in November and seeing you be the role of mom/wifey, respectfully, I know I have the best in the world. The journey of my oldest son and I has played it’s role and led us here. Not everyday is guaranteed in life, and I will always be grateful for everyday we share together. This holiday season, this Grinch’s heart grew ten times its size. I love our family and life we are creating together. Thank you for believing in me, and breathing life into me. With what was once incomplete, is now imperfectly perfect. Te Amo mucho mi reina ❤️ Merry Christmas to everybody - The Resto Family
