First Born Friday

My first born in a word: heart

because...

the first experience i had when i knew mine was no longer beating in my chest, but bundled up in a blue blanket early one june morning in 2004

because...

i've never seen a man lose his for another like the way your daddy did for you when he followed you to the NICU


because...

you wear it on your sleeve

because...

you say it might explode because "the most beautiful two girls in the whole world live in this house"

because...

mine breaks when yours does

because...

Jesus lives in yours and you both live in mine
