[parents]

Bishop Compton called us into his office to get to know our family. After talking for awhile he asked us this question "The most surprising thing about being a new parent is....?" I hadn't really thought about it that much but I responded first and said how surprised I was about how much I worry about him. I'll be in class and even when mom and dad were here and I knew he was in good hands I worried about whether he was okay and if he had everything he needs. I just want to give him the best life I possibly can and protect him from the cruel things in life, I just don't want him to suffer any pain and be the happiest he can be. Filipo said the most surprising thing to him is when he's holding him and looks down and realizes that he's finally a parent, now it's a reality. It's amazing to him that he has the responsibility for this little boy and he's just amazed by him. He loves to just hold him and stare at him for hours. Bishop then told us that the most surprising thing to him when he had his kids was walking across campus to his office and noticing how calm everyone was, a major event had just occurred and everyone was acting like nothing had happened.
