Daddy's Girl


Madilynne Grace Bruce,

What can I Say?  9 years ago I can remember being the most nervous and scared father-to-be you can imagine.  Would I be a good enough dad?  Would I provide her with everything she wants/needs?  Will she love me like I already love her, even though I haven’t even met her yet?  Well, 9 years later and only she can answer those questions, but now there are a whole set of new questions.  Does she truly know how much I love her?  Do I say it enough?  Does she know how proud of her I am and how smart I know she is?  Let me say it now.  I love you baby girl.  A long time ago you stole my heart.  You are so much your mama.  Beautiful, intelligent, sassy, sensitive, elegant and sometimes graceful just like your mama.  I can’t say how much of a role I played in making you the amazing girl you are today, I’ll give your mom most of the credit.  What I will say is no other father is more proud of his daughter.  Every once in awhile a child is born that is so special, that simply by their birth, they make the parents better people.  Without you, your mom and I were as happy as I thought 2 people could ever be.  Girl was I wrong.  How can one little ol’ baby girl make 2 people better every day?  All I know is you’ve been doing it for 9 year!

I love you with all my heart,  Happy Birthday!
Dad
