Oct. 30 1836-Birth of Waldo

Today the heavens have blessed me with a child. A son, a boy who I will raise to fill the shoes of his father. I shall commit to raise this boy up by the principles of truth. Teaching him the ways of nature and showing him divine inner peace. To look at life from a new perspective, although death occurs as a natural process in nature, I see the joys in birth and beginnings. The beginning of not only Waldo's adventure through life, but the beginning of my adventure through fatherhood. May I provide for him like an animal provides for his cub.
