First Words To My Child.. For the past four years, the holidays have been unbelievably special for me because of my daughter. She'll be four next month and she's just getting to the age where she can begin to appreciate Christmas and the tradition of it. More than ever, my time with her is so incredibly precious to me. The years since her birth seem to have flown by. As some of you may know, my daughter was unplanned, but completely loved and wanted. It's funny because although I've steadfastly resisted the idea of marriage, I have always known that I wanted a child. Specifically, a daughter. As early as my pre-teen years I'd thought about one day being a parent to a beautiful baby girl. I wasn't sure when it would happen or under what circumstances. And to be clear, it is something that I, literally, thought about constantly. I would daydream about how I would interact with her and how she would look and act. So when she finally arrived, it was like a realization of something I'd been longing for... The day she was born, I held her with trembling hands... unable to really believe what her being here meant. And thru misty eyes and a shaky voice, I said, "I've been waiting for you my whole life." And it felt like the truest thing I've eversaid. I am so incredibly thankful for her. | |

some wouldn't agree, but being a father is a privilege...I'm so thankful for my kids and what they add to my life...
it's a shame that all fathers can't or won't express their feelings like you just did...you're daughter is a lucky lil' girl... [Edited 11/30/07 12:53pm] | |

Contrast this with the fact that my brother in-law was at the hospital before my niece was born and then left during my sister's contractions to go commit some crimes for money. He left and never returned. Didn't even come to the hospital to see her for the couple days she was there. Thank GOD he was not there to share in the righteousness of a new life coming into this world. I'm glad I didn't have to share that moment with him.
It is amazing to have fathers like you in this world. you will make all the difference in her life and I'm very happy for you 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

I didn't get to say so much to my first one, I was wheeled into recovery with intense nausea, shivering.
The second one I can't remember now what I said to him - frikkin drugs The third one I sang to and told him I loved him, over and over like a broken record. | |

I love seeing parents...especially fathers be so open with their love for their children. | |
