Amelia once told me I was born to make her laugh. She was ten at the time, but even then she had it all wrong. I was put on this earth to love her, and I plan to spend the rest of my life making her happy.

And teasing her.

Because life would be boring without her sass.

And the truth is…I wasn’t made just for her and she wasn’t made specifically for me… We were made for each other. As equals. It just took us too goddamn long to see it.

Dear Bennett Family Diary,

Life couldn’t be better. I finished my career with two Super Bowl wins and the biggest retirement send-off anyone could have asked for. Amelia’s killing it with her music videos and short films. She’s going to take on the world any minute and I can’t wait for her time in the spotlight. And Juliet…my angel…is the light in our lives, keeping us busy in the very best way.

But the icing on the cake…We’re having another baby. Juliet is going to be a big sister. Our second little angel is due in five months. I’m destined to forever be surrounded by girls, and while Reed once said it was poetic justice, I couldn’t be happier. They own me and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

So like I said… Life is good. But there’s so much more to come and I’m ready for the chaos.

Bring it on.

Luke
