• Paternity

  
  

  I look at you, our Destiny, and I see your daddy when he was two.

  
  

  I see his cheeks, his forehead, his stance.

  
  

  I hear his laughter, his shyness, his joy.

  
  

  And yet, because of the pain and anger that has surrounded us these last two years, we must be sure.

  
  

  And so -- today you will have your cheek swabbed, your daddy will have his cheek swabbed, and we will wait; we will wait a week to fourteen days for the results; we will wait, and then we will progress toward our ultimate goal, the goal of having you tucked safely in the arms of your daddy.
