Today, I put a call through to an old friend.

I remembered he had a child with his partner some weeks ago, and he was overjoyed.

I also remember how cranky he got whenever he did not get enough sleep.

So I called to make sure he was holding up well.

Interestingly, he was not cranky. He was totally loving getting less sleep. He couldn’t stop talking about his daughter.

I was so happy for him.

I am thankful for the gift of children and how they help us reprioritise what’s important.
