This is Zoie, my 7 year old daughter! Her name means LIFE! I didn't know this when I named her, but it totally fits her personality! She makes me smile BIG TIME even in the most ordinary circumstances. Picking out her clothes and how her hair looks is too cute! I know, that's surface. On a deeper level she has been praying up a storm lately without us making her! Just listening to her thanking the man upstairs makes me proud! 7 and thankful... We have adults out here that can't even speak the word.
As a dad I want the best for my children like all good parents and I'm so glad she wants the best for herself too! She's excited to learn and grow her imagination.. that she inspires me! She'll say, " daddy.. Can I do some work?"! What kind of kid is this? She realizes that learning is and can be fun! She can be a funny jerk too because she will rub it in her 13 year old brother's face! I'm glad he doesn't get offended.
She told my wife and I that she want's to grow upp and be a doctor for little kids because she wants them to be healthy! SHE CAN BE IT!
Listen.. Zoie isn't perfect. Nobody is, but I thing having kids is a growing experience for people. I was 20 going on 21 when I had my son and he was a learning experience. I mean, I worried about the dumbest stuff and let a little kid anger me... BE SLOW TO ANGER is where I'm now! I love my wife, mother, son and so many others but Zoie is my princess!
I pray for her safety and future all the time. I don't want anyone doing her wrong or letting her down. That's not realistic so I will be there to love and support her always!
MY BABY!!!!!
Awww! I can feel the love you have for her in your writing. Thanks for sharing!
Yes , yes , yes!
