Oaklyn Skye Early
I'm a DAD!😁
On January 31st of this year my daughter Oaklyn was introduced to the world. She weighed in a healthy 8 lbs and measured 19.5 inches long. A life changing event for my girlfriend and I that has already brought more joy into our lives than we could have ever imagined.
Father's Day this Sunday is sure to bring a lot of emotions as we will be celebrating the beautiful little addition to our family while I also remember my father who passed away a year ago at the young age of 59. He was far from perfect, but he was my dad. A bond that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
My father earned a living with his hands as a carpenter and he really enjoyed drawing, which he used to help with his depression later in life. Those same drawing skills weren't passed down to me, but I like to believe that he inspired the creative outlets I do enjoy such as photography. I'd like to share with you some of his drawings that we discovered in his art portfolio after he passed away.

Love Those Who Love You💕
Life is a very precious gift that we often take for granted as we are consumed by the world that moves around us. Take some time this weekend to spend with those that you love. Enjoy your weekend everyone and Happy Father's Day!
I am very very happy for you! since I just experienced this 11 months ago, I totally understand what an amazing thing you are about to have!
I wish her, his mom and dad, happiness; and peace for your dad...
enjoy every moment of having her, holding her everything; it is extremely regrettably unrepeatable!!!
Congratulations to you as well! We are looking forward to the journey ahead as new parents even with all the challenges we know that are on the way lol.
Your dads work is awesome. Really cool you have that from him.
Thanks man! He would be happy knowing people appreciate his work.
Congratulations on your healthy daughter, and enjoy fatherhood the most that you can. New father here as well and it's been the most challenging two years of my life but mixed with so much love and joy as well, the kind that you will only find in the presence and devotion of your own child.
I can only imagine that fatherhood will continue to get tougher, but I'm definitely ready for the challenge. Enjoy your weekend with your family and Happy Father's Day!
You have a great story and no doubt a lovely baby haha :)
Thank you! She is the best!
