Today is my first Father's Day as a mother.
How do you express such love and joy that comes with parenthood, and how do you say 'Thank You' to someone for fathering children with you?
It's nuts. I can't figure out.
I'm usually the one with thousands of words, to write, and to speak, but today I'm finding myself speechless.
To Andrew, the best daddy in the world,
I remember when we first met, I told you how I thought'd you be such a great dad one day. You cried, you never believed you'd make a good father, so a few years later I proved it to you (hahah). Charlotte is 1 year old toady, you've successfully fathered our little girl for an entire year.
I can't imagine raising this little girl with anyone but you. You were made to be a daddy. Your protective side emerges to keep her safe. Your silly side comes out to play and laugh with her. Your musicians heart soars along with her little fingers strumming your guitar and her tiny voice floating along behind yours.
Her crib is slightly broken because of the night you climbed in to sleep with her when she wouldn't stop fussing. It's a perfect picture in my head of just how wrapped around her finger you truly are.
As she grows, I am comforted in knowing that you will be there for her, to set an example of a good man, to be her first love, and a safe place she can always return to.
Daddies are very important to little girls, and grown girls, and even when she's grown, she will always need you.
Thank you so much for splitting genes with me. We've created such a beautiful, intelligent, talented, angry little girl, and though I see my expressions in her daily, she is undoubtedly your twin, so I guess it's a good thing that you're so pretty.
I love you, I love our daughter, and I love knowing that you'll always be there too love and father her.
Never underestimate your power as DAD, though it may often feel like she's in charge always know that your her daddy, she will always love you and she will alway need you.
LOVEEEEEE YOUUUUU
happy first fathers day!
