Where have the past three months gone? It is surreal to look at pictures of the day you were born. To see how small you were. How new to life. I was completely relying on God that day. And three months later, you are bigger and more adjusted to this world. But one thing will always remain the same. I will always rely on the Lord. My days would be much more chaotic and filled with stress if I took them on alone. No matter how strong or tough I think I am, your dad's need for God's protection is forever present.
Protecting you and your mother is one of my most important responsibilities. It is the duty of a husband and father to make sure his family is safe from all harm. This means that difficult decisions will have to be made at times. They are not meant to punish, but rather to guard from harm. Now I know there will come a time in your life that I will no longer be your primary protector. As we walk down the aisle one day, that responsibility will be passed on to your husband. But until that day comes, I will always do my very best to keep you safe. To teach you how to turn from danger. To seek Christ as your guidance. Sometimes you may think that I am just trying to ruin your good time, or stop you from having fun. However, just as God does with us, I will want what is best for you. This will require lots of trust on both our parts. But we have lots of years to work on that my dear.
You are absolutely beautiful daughter of mine. Standing up on your own. Trying to roll over. And forever smiling. I am so blessed to have you as my child. To be able to call myself your father. Continue to grow strong and happy my baby girl. And always know that your father on earth and your Father in heaven love you so very much.
-Daddy
