The day I became a father was one of the best days of my life.
The first time I laid eyes on my daughter, I cannot help myself but cry with joy. I can never think of anything I did right that made me deserve such an angel in my life. The first time I put her in my arms was even more emotional than anything else.
Now, over a year later, I am enjoying the best days of my life with my little girl. She has started to walk, run and utter some basic words. She has also learned to ask for things and ask for a hug. Such a lovely angel! She does not want to go to sleep unless I am beside her humming some random notes. I have gotten used to waking up with her little feet on my face every morning.
She has shown a liking to technology as well, just like her dad. One minute she would be running around the house, the next she'll be beside me looking at the screen of my smartphone, checking my emails with me as if she understood what was written. I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing, but I am pretty sure that it makes me happy.
It was then that I realized that my little girl has been doing some growing up. And at such a fast pace. I feel happy and a little bit sad when I think about the day when she will have to stand up on her own feet and make her own life. Always hits me when I think about that.
So please my little angel, don't grow up too fast.
Daddy
This hit home pretty close. I've got a daughter of my own - she's three years old, and she's growing up so fast! I still remember how incredible it felt when I picked her up and held her on the day she was born... now, she's nearly ready for pre-school! Don't grow up too fast indeed.
Yes. I guess one of the realities we have to face later on is the fact that our kids will soon be leaving us to make their own lives. She's my firstborn by the way. :)
Have fun and enjoy each other. They don't stay little long. Before you know it's time for graduation. Wish you love and happiness!!
