Dear Declan - Love, Dad

Splash Pad at the Springs Preserve

Splash Pad at the Springs Preserve

You love water.

I mean, you LOVE water.

And I love watching you at the splash pad because you just completely come alive. You run everywhere, get soaked, laugh, and have the best time. There’s no hesitation - you’re just all in.

Legend and Mekhi were there with you this day too, which made it even better. You guys ran around, played hide-and-seek, and just had a blast together.

I really love watching you with your cousins.

There’s something special about seeing you all play together, laugh together, and already start building your own little relationships and memories. I hope as you get older, you stay close and have a million more days like this.

For now, I’m just happy to stand back and watch you guys run around like maniacs.

You looked so happy.

And that makes me happy too.

Love, Dad
