Today might be your birthday, but it is i that has been given the greatest gift. You.
11 years ago when you arrived was the greatest day of my life and 1 i wish i could replay over and over again. The moment you arrived was the moment i first experienced true love for the furst time.
ironically, your birth was symbolic of the way you seem to tackle life, head first and full speed ahead, which i like to proudly think is how i do so as well.
To watch you grow, even from a distance now is bitter sweet, on 1 hand i am exploding with pride at my athletic, quirky, intelligent, stubborn, driven and beautiful daughter and everyone who knows me knows just how proud i am of my 2 beautiful girls. On the other hand i am full of sadness and regret that i cannot be there in person to shelter, guide, mentor and protect you. I hope you know still just how much your dad loves you abd even though i am not there in person rest assured at any time i will be there in an instant if you need me.
I also hope you remember my advice to you, and you never stop asking questions. The world is a scary place at times and i hope i can be there to help guide you through safely.
I also hope you can remember me asking you to please stop growing so i can always cuddle you snd i hope you keep your promise of never being too big or grown to cuddle your dad.
I cannot wait for the day i get more squashes from you munchkin, never ever forget, i love you to the stars snd back and i will forever always be your loving dad
