Darius, Congratulations to you and your wife on the safe arrival of Maximus 🤱.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful idea of writing a letter to him each day, even before he was born. What a precious gift of love and wisdom he will treasure as he grows.

Our son and daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law are also very happy in their journey as parents, and my husband and I feel truly blessed to have three grandchildren (now 4 years old, 26 months, and 18 months) who bring so much joy and love into our family.

As someone who lost my father at a very young age and also now I am a new father, these words relates so much to me. Thanks for sharing.

Appreciate it, Roby. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Congrats! I hope you find fatherhood as rewarding as I did. It looks like you are already on that path. I love the name, if we had a boy that was our first choice but we never did.

Cheers!

Congrats on Maximus! The idea of writing without AI or performance anxiety is underrated. Most personal projects fail becasue they start with too much external validation in mind instead of just capturing something real. When my daughter was born I tried doing something similar but got stuck overthinking the format. Might be time to revisit that now, honestly the daily discipline part sounds like it helped lock in those early memories too.

Thanks! Nice. I highly recommend going for it.

So, I have no idea how I got you into my mailbox almost 3 years ago, but I'm glad I did. I ignored most of your newsletters, because I wasn't really in a good place mentally, but an interesting thing happened - I started writing stuff like a week ago, and now I open my mail and see this :)

Also congrats!

Darius Foroux's avatar

Very glad to hear that! Thanks. And keep at it!
