Today marked two years since my beautiful daughter Adalyn was birthed into our lives. She is such a precious child and a complete opposite of her sister. Ava is a tenderheart like her mom, and Addy is a crazy troublemaker like her mom, oops i mean like me:)
Anyways, to top it off, I have been at a leadership conference in Grand Rapids since Monday morning so I wasn't even home at all today!! I didn't see my daughter once on her birthday and I'm feeling like a terrible dad. My fears were somewhat relieved when Ava informed Kendra that it couldn't be Addy's birthday because there were no presents and no cake. When Kendra insisted, Ava replied, Mommy, if there is no cake, its all a lie!!! I guess this weekend we can get a cake with candles, take pictures, and pretend like its really the big day, but for now i figured I better at least blog about it.
Every time I put Ava to bed, I ask her how does daddy love you?. I say with all my heart? and she says yes. No matter what? and she says yes. And then she finishes the last part for me.......and forever and ever.
I thank God for my children as well as the unreasonable love of my heavenly Father who loves me with all His heart, no matter what, and forever and ever and I pray that God would show me how to love like He loves.
Happy Birthday Addy, Your dad Loves you more than you can know.
