Hello Doubt...

Hello my good friend doubt. It's been quite a relationship you and I have had over these past five years. You and I have spent much time together talking and wrestling. I've really gotten to become comfortable around you.

Of course, I'm not the biggest fan of your brother disappointment, but I've grown to live with his monthly visit. In fact, as I woke up this morning, I found myself waiting his visit in the week to come. I don't want him to drop by any more, and I really want to believe he's not going to be here. It's just that all I've known for the past five years is weeks spent with doubt, only to be visited by disappointment.

Hey doubt, I've got some news. I think I've been cheating on you. I've been spending a little time with your mortal enemy hope. I've gotta tell you, he's a lot more fun. I'm not fully sure if I trust him yet, but he tells me that he's got a few brothers named promise, fulfillment, and celebrate who will be stopping by soon.

Hope says it's gonna be one awesome party.

I'm sorry doubt, you and disappointment aren't invited.

From,
A soon to be dad

I'm so proud of you guys. You are about to get your minds blown away! I have gotten on this ride twice. The first time was in 1997, and then earlier this year. The ride changes from day to day. Seatbelts are not required. Have fun and remember, even in the moments when it seems like forever-it will go by some insanely quickly that you won't believe it.
