If you know me at all you know that I am a big fan of country music. I find that so much of it is relevant to life. It speaks to us with a message the majority of us can either appreciate or could use in our lives. Before Nicholas was born I never gave much thought in to how fast time truly goes, but I look now and pretty soon he'll be two months old, and it seems just like yesterday. I was really annoyed with all of the people saying things like "oh it goes so fast" and I felt like saying don't rush the process, just let me enjoy it all one day at a time. Then I hear this song and it just really puts a lot of it in perspective. I don't want my little guy to grow up that fast. My favorite country songs that apply to fatherhood and how we should approach things are as follows (please feel free to add some of your own, or check these out and see if they don't kind of "center" you):
