'Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad.' - Unknown
It was a strange feeling, the emotions that were bubbling inside, the sense that his life now belonged completely to something to small and helpless. Even though he was now several months old, it seemed impossible that his baby boy would ever be able to fend for himself. He shifted Steven's weight in his arms. From inside the bundle of blankets, a little tuft of red-gold hair could be seen and Steven gurgled softly in his sleep. Sam ran a gently finger over his son's tiny nose - Melinda's nose.
He missed her so much: the sound of her laughter, her footsteps, her scent. But he knew he could cope. He had to cope. Melinda may be gone from the world, no longer by his side, but she had left him the most beautiful gift in the entire world. Steven. A gift that needed a fathers love and care. Steven gave him a reason to get up in the morning, to get on with life, to make the most out of the situation. And he couldn't be more thankful.
Why isn't Sam on the character list? :O
