While sitting under a tree, it is said the concept of gravity became evident to Sir Isaac Newton. The falling of an apple has sparked one of the greatest minds in human history to create theories and expand our knowledge of the known world. The theory of the apple falling from a tree is a perfect analogy for relationship of a parent to a child just as it is for the theory of gravity. In most cases, a child will either choose to accept or reject those qualities displayed by a parent. It’s a bit too early to tell but I wonder where this apple will fall.
My imperfections are numerous. I often times need to remind myself of these as from time to time ones cranium can become swollen. My Achilles heal in life is lack of discretion for time. Call it the Jamaican in me; it is a never ending battle I face with Chronus. I have missed many trips and even a flight due to my inability to tackle this task, yet it has never really affected anyone else but me.
My poor sweetheart is in ruins right now. Unfortunately, our offspring has picked up early on my trait of timeliness and is taking her own sweet time to get here. That would normally be just fine for me, but her mother is very tired and needs this baby out ASAP. Seeing her pains make me wish Kaia would get then hint that so many people have dropped to me on numerous occasions and get here already. It is very evident how to me now how other people feel as I arrive late for occasions. This trait that is from my mother (not my father who would often leave my mom rather than be late) has seemed to make its ways to Kaia. Mandi is due tomorrow Sept 5th. The countdown is on to see exactly if Kaia will take after me or after her mother. On our most recent Dr.’s visit, the 1 cm dilation seemed to point us in the direction that Kaia might just be getting here a little later than planned…
I hope this apple falls far from my tree...
