The Most Important Title

If I were to compose a list of who I consider myself to be, it would look like this.

Who is Kent Byers?

Kent Byers is a husband, who believes in God, serves as an assistant principal, certified personal trainer, consultant for a health and wellness company, artist, chef, powerlifter, and...da-da.

Da-da?

The other night, as Brinkley was waking from her nap nestled in my arms.  She reached up, touched the tip of my nose, looked into my eyes and said, "Da-da." 

At that moment, every thought from my mind faded away.  All of my titles seemed meaningless.  The only title that mattered was Da-da.   

At that moment Brinkley reminded me of my most important responsibility, and that is to be her Da-da.
