Jagger Morrow was born May 17.

I am the proud father of a baby boy whom I lovemore than anything else in this world.

The advice we received during the pregnancy washelpful, yet I found myself completely unprepared forfatherhood. Yeah, I was unprepared for the sleepdeprivation, lack of attention from my wife, and notknowing Jagger’s cues. That is not what I’m referring to,though. There is absolutely nothing in this world thatcan prepare a man for the love he feels for his child. Ihave a newfound respect for my wife and for everyfather I have ever met. A man can never understandthat love until he experiences it for himself.

Happy belated Father’s Day to dads everywhere!- Jordan Morrow

Painting AmericaFrom a young age, Norman

Rockwell knew he wanted to be anartist. He enrolled in the New YorkSchool of Art at age 14, and two yearslater he was already a successfulpainter. In addition to his position asart director for the Boy Scouts ofAmerica’s publication Boys’ Life, healso worked freelance for a variety ofother teen magazines.

When Rockwell was 22, he painteda cover for the Saturday Evening Post.It was the first of 322 covers for themagazine, including some of his moreiconic paintings. “Freedom of Speech,”“Freedom to Worship,” “Freedomfrom Want” and “Freedom fromFear”—inspired by President FranklinRoosevelt’s 1943 address toCongress—became hugely popularand toured the U.S., raising more than$130 million for the war effort.

Rockwell was awarded the nation’shighest civilian honor, the PresidentialMedal of Freedom, in 1977. He diedNov. 8, 1978, in Stockbridge, Mass.
