A Comedic Tale of Life Before Kids
The Hit Book by Brendan Casey
Until You Came Along is a comedic and heartwarming take on parenting. The book is an irreverent love letter written on behalf of anyone who's ever raised a child to kids everywhere. It chronicles all the amazing things that made life worth living before parents became parents. All of the sinfully selfish pleasures they gave up when their precious bundle of joy burst into this world, trampling the fun out of their finely-tuned existence with their pants-shitting, tantrum-throwing neediness.
You remember those days, right? The mornings you slept till noon. The nights out with friends. The days on the golf course. Taco Tuesday. Sunday Funday. Wine tasting. An all-inclusive day at the spa because it was Wednesday and you had a gift card. Your world was simpler then. It was exciting. And you were impulsive and free and crushing it! There was no bucket list. There was just life. And you were living it free of any living – breathing – needing to be fed every two hours - burden. You were tethered to fun and booze and Netflix.
And, while Until You Came Along may seem like a hilarious look back on life before kids, it’s ultimately a reaffirmation of the blessing that is parenthood. Because there’s no greater joy than caring for someone more than you care for yourself. But, then again, you do miss tailgate parties. And dinner with your girlfriends. And how damn good does a mimosa sound?
