From Ro's dad

Hi all, I'm Josh, Rowan's dad. I expected to love my new son and to want the best for him. I did not anticipate how intimate the relationship with him would be. I feed him, clean him, and keep him safe. Neither of us has secrets or ulterior motives. We communicate with few words, and the words aren't needed. We can't lie to each other. I've never been closer to anyone else.

Jenna, Rowan's mom, is amazing. She worries and frets constantly caring for our boy. She gives up sleep, misses meals, and suffers all the little pains of being a mom. When she holds him in her arms and he is at ease, her face just glows. That's what love looks like.
