By John Jericiau As happy an occasion as it is, the first birthday of your last baby is also filled with lots of sorrow and nostalgia. Of course I’m glad that we’ve made it through the first 365 days relatively unscathed, although his forehead has had more than his fair share of bruises now that […]
Gay Dad: Hi, I’m Ying, and this is my husband Yang
By John Jericiau My spouse and I are coming up on ten awesome years together. We marked the calendar from our first date together: June 11th, 2004.
