Congrats Dark
kids are truly gifts from God and we do not know how long we will know them.
i tell you this cause i know better than anyone what i am talking about from experience
love them all you can…tell them daily…make your home a safe place where they can fall, be themselves, and know that no matter what they do…they are loved, and have a home no matter what.
Do whatever it takes to be best friends with your son and daughter, and be the strength they need to act like and become the person they see in you and your walk and what they need to grow up to be…you will be the legacy in how you are w them because they will be what you are with them

Congrats DD on becoming a father, and don't be scared. There isn't any formula that you can follow to make you the best dad in the world, it's alway's an experiment....no matter what. My baby is just getting ready to turn 29, personally as a father I suck. But somewhere along the line I did something right, my son now has 2 kids of his own, and they are the most beautiful grandkids in the world. So even as a sucky dad, I have a great son and great grandkids. Good luck brah and keep in touch. Let us know how you progress through this. -Dan

Hey CJ trust me i know all 2 well that life is short. I want my child to know that they will always have a loving family. I lost my dad 3 years ago and now more then ever i wish he was here to share this with. You sound like a great person.
XJ3 now thats funny and so very true lol

It's great being a dad and watching your kids grow. 
Just a warning though, women are crazy when they are pregnant.

Congrats! Being a father is one of the greatest achievments in the world. I've been one for almost 25 years now. Got 3 (you still have sleepless nights!) Start padding your bank account now. The first thing they learn is "No", the second is "I want!"
