With all these photos and and videos of Ezekiel we've been posting, you'll notice something in the background...or at least there is something you should've been noticing. Have a look. Did you find it?
Yep, there are two more people that actually live here! Meg and I! Amazing! After all this news of Zeke, you must be just craving news of what I am up to. Certinaly you must care a little bit. C'mon, don't you want to know? What if I pay you...
Too bad, I'll tell you anyways.
I've realized something. Since December 14th, I've ceased to exist. Yep, its true. I no longer have any fucntion of my own in society any more. I am no longer known by the name of Jeremy Dale Dyck. I have a new name. Ezekiel's Dad. When people talk to me, its only to ask how Ezekiel is doing. When I talk to other people, I tell them how Ezekiel is doing. I am no longer my own entity. Some of you may know this phenomenon that I speak of. The medical community has long since recognized it and have titled it "Identityectomy", but alas there is no cure.
But being a father has not been too bad. The sleepless nights (Meg here: "Oh, please Jeremy...all FOUR of them!!) haven't been too bad and haven't really amented me fectally...wait..amented...thats not right...umm...haven't hurt my brain too bad. Now I have slipped into another medical condition known as "Fatherhood" which is not only incurable, but unfortunatly permanent. Now such thoughts occur to me like,
"That supporting wall would be better held with Duct Tape",
OR
"I'll just stick my head into this cupboard directly beneath the open cupboard door"
OR
"Why would I stop for gas when I still have 1/64th of a tank left?"
The only good news I can glean from this is that I still have the ability to recognize it. Soon, ...too soon...I will caught in that downward spiralling loop of telling silly jokes, taking 450 pictures of random items, and napping in between rounds of Uno.
Don't cry for me, Argentina...or whoever you are. Like I said, I haven't reached that point yet. The doctor says I have a few good years left. And then...well...ummm...I forget what he said would happen. Oh well...
Hey did you hear the one about the vacuum cleaner? Never mind, it sucks...
Uh-OH! Its' too late!!!
