"No Boob tonight" Mommy announced as she re-appeared after putting you to bed tonight. "I guess last night was the last time I'll ever nurse him to sleep".
The plan all along was to breast feed you for the first year. I don't think we expected our timing to be so good -- tomorrow is one year since your due date.
If I haven't told you so already, seeing you nurse was always precious.
It is a condition of Fatherhood to be excluded from that most essential of relationships. But unique to fathers is our perspective as intimate Third Party. A vantage not unlike the majestic helplessness of witnessing birth, allowing us to appreciate nonetheless a special bond we'll never really understand.
Dad
