DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL

When we first started our family I wanted to have five boys. I wanted to be able to field an entire basketball team with thebigsweed's offspring. Well, after 3 boys we needed a little break. Fast forward seven years and my wife and I were blessed with a little girl. Her name is Erica. For such a young lady she has an old soul. As she has grown into the young lady that she is today, she has filled my heart and soul with so much love and happiness. To say that I am proud of her is an understatement.

November 6th was my birthday. She was supposed to be born on November 6th also, but she didn't quite pop her head out in time. She started to grace our lives on November 7th 1990.

Erica is up for the weekend and sharing time with each other is the best gift we can get and give.

Her gifts to all family members are usually hand made. The birthday card for my 66th birthday followed suit.

This is a picture of the front of the card which was designed and penned by her. The time it had to have taken to produce such a piece, speaks volumes in itself.

The penned note on the opposite side brought emotions of pride, joy, love and respect to the surface. There was no hiding the tears that flowed down my cheeks as I read her love letter to me.

What more can a parent ask for. As mothers and fathers, such kind words of gratitude and respect, remind us of why we placed the responsibility of raising a family at the top of our list.

She may have not been able to be the point guard on the boy's team I had envisioned, but she could have been on my girls team if we would just continued having more little girls. Her name and accomplishments now hang on the wall next to my son @ryan313, in the same high school that I attended so long ago.
