The sight of blood made Matthew pass out. Out cold.
Every time. He didn’t mean to
miss the birth of his child, but he couldn’t help it. One red drop and bang, he was on the
floor. Fatherhood was going to be
interesting. He woke up to his wife
peering at him while his new baby nursed at her breast. He was in the hospital bed directly across
from them and the sight of his darling girl holding his first-born son in her
arms brought tears of joy to his eyes.
This day had arrived. He was a
father and he was both over-joyed and terrified.
“What kind of dad will I be?” he had asked his mother when
he told her the news of his wife’s pregnancy.
“That’s up to you Son,” she said with her mouth and her
eyes. “Just as I did my best and still made
plenty of mistakes, so will you, but if you are a good husband to the mother of
your son and she is a loving wife to his dad then yours will be a strong and
happy home and that is where all children thrive and want to be. Sadly, we’ve been lied to about the true
value of a family and how important marriage is to children. Our world is based on exactly what I am
telling you right now: A man and a woman
form a union, from their union life issues and blossoms. Soon and very soon things come against this
divine order but you must protect and guard it with your life! Got that?”
