HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARA!

Today marks the completion of 14 years that I have been a Dad. There are 365 days in one year. Except years like this one, leap years. This means that this 14 year period has included leap years in 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004.  I have always been a bit 'rain man' (the savant characteristic)  so I decided to calculate how many days that I have been a dad.  As my daughter is studying algebra these days I will divulge my formula.

Let D=total days of being a Dad.
Let X=Number of years being a Dad
Let Y=number of leap years within this 14 year period

D=365X+Y
D=365(14) + 4
D=5114

I have been a Dad for 5114 days.  I can say with great certainty that the best day of my life was that day, 5114 days ago, that I became a Dad.  Most of these days have been terrific, some less so. I have never envied anyone without kids. Being a parent is the best feeling in the world. It's felt a bit better since last year when I lost 80 lbs - but it always felt good.  The bottom line is that there has not been one day within the past 5114 days that I have not been proud of my daughter. That last statement is what is known as a harmless white lie...nevertheless....Happy Birthday, Sara!

There is some irony in this picture taken of my daughter taken during the first few weeks of her arrival. I thought it would be clever to take a photo of her in a salad bowl. The irony is that back then, it never occurred to me to actually eat a salad. Fourteen years ago, I had not yet ballooned up my 300+ pound blimpish existence - but I was on my way.
