New House, New Kid

Anticipation of the biggest change in my life…
Dad; a proper noun that I only knew to use towards the guy who raised me and was my inspiration for what to aspire to when one day I would take on the name. The name always held a happy connotation because my dad is my best friend and the most incredible role model. So,…
