A year ago she arrived…
And here she is a year later…
Charisse…
- I love you…and I always will. There is nothing you can do to make me stop loving you!
- Hearing you say “daddy” was one of THE most awesome events in my life.
- I pray daily for your salvation…the thing I want the most out of your life is for you to be in heaven with your mother and I.
- God has used you to teach me so much about HIS unconditional love.
- Seeing you smile ALWAYS makes me smile.
- I love our Saturday morning dates…and pray that those continue…FOREVER.
- I love seeing your face light up when I give you a sip of sweet tea…I knew you would love it.
- I will always share my ice cream with you…and that’s pretty special!
- Your blue eyes are beautiful!
- The first time you hugged me was amazing…I love “daddy hugs!”
- Feeding you your first Krispy Kreme doughnut was so much fun!
I could go on and on. This first year happened fast—people told me that it would. You have grown up so much…and I know that before I blink you will be five, then twelve, the graduating high school, then college…and then some guy is going to want to marry you—if he survives what I put him through—I might let him! :-)
(Don’t you just love the shirt!!!)
I want you to know you’re incredible. I am sure I will make some mistakes as your dad; however, I hope you know that I will always…
- Love your mother
- Love you
- Beg God to give me wisdom on how to raise you
- And tell you about Jesus
Charisse—happy birthday…you are a gift from God to your mother and I…and I will never take you for granted. You are an amazing girl—God has an incredible plan for your life…and I can’t wait to see it unfold.
