All For You

You have been on my mind all last night and all day today. I haven't stopped thinking about you or our family for one second.  I know that whatever happens, you and I will have an unbreakable bond and no one can take that away from us.  Writing to you has been the only thing that I have and everything that I have written, I have written for you.  I know deep in my heart that you can sense that I am out here waiting for you and that I love you and will always love you.  I have to believe that.  I know that mommy has read some of these posts to you and it makes me happy as I hope and pray that I won't be a stranger when we meet for the first time. I am hopeful for the future no matter what anyone assumes or says but, the only thing that I can cling onto for sure is that you and I will be a part of each others lives no matter what happens.  I can't wait until the day I become your dad.  That will be the first day of the rest of my life and I can't wait until it's finally here and everything becomes real for me. I would also like to thank your mommy for all that she has done with prepping you for your arrival.  I love you both

Love,

Daddy

My Promise

I want you to know just how much I love you so I want to make a promise to you. I will always strive to keep this promise no matter what and as best as I can at all times. I swear this on my life to you:

I promise that no matter what happens in life, I won't let you down at being the best father I can be.  I promise that I'll always be there when you need me and wherever you need me.  I promise that I'll move Heaven and Earth for you.  I promise that our bond will be unbreakable.  I promise to always love and respect you for who you are.  I promise that you can always come to me if you need someone to talk to or listen.  I promise to be a positive role model in your life.  I promise I'll never leave you. I promise to be strong for you. I promise to be gentle with you. I promise to never judge you. I promise to always protect you. I promise to always fight for you. I promise I would give my life for you. I promise to learn from the mistakes I'll make with you. I promise to always make time for you. And finally, I promise that you and I will have fun together and will create a lifetime of memories that we will always cherish.

All this I swear on my life to you little one.

I love you,

Daddy

Daughters Need Fathers

These were two of the articles that I stumbled upon last night while I was doing some poking around on the internet.  Reading articles such as these which emphasize the importance of a father in a child's life, especially in his daughter's, is really an eye opener into what's truly at stake.  These articles go hand in hand with what I've learned about a child's core belief system being established by the time they reach 5 or 6 years old.  It's important to be an active and supportive dad at every single stage in their lives.  I just can't believe that there are men out there that don't realize this importance or are absent in their child's life.  Who wouldn't want to step up to the plate and be a father and be a part of a life that they helped create?  I don't understand at all.  As for me, I can't wait to be a part of my daughter's life and I don't want to miss a single moment of it.  I'll be the best dad that I can for her and I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that our bond will be a strong and healthy one.  The challenge has been excepted so Game On!
