rapid decompression

A few nights ago I came home from work late, a little after 10pm. Elliott was crying, he had been fussy all day. I sat down with him in the rocking chair that we are borrowing and rocked him until he fell asleep. There wasn't anything out of the ordinary about this but I felt like I was able to slow down enough to appreciate being there with my son in that moment. I love him so much. It was my favorite moment of being a father since he was born.
