Daddy's little girl is getting so big..... and it breaks my heart





I hijacked Tracie's blog to ask if anyone knows how they grow up so fast. I love my little girl!
"Gotta hold on easy as I let you go. 
Gonna tell you how much I love you, 
though you think you already know. 
I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm. 
You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born.

Your beautiful baby from the outside in. 
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again. 
Go on, take on this whole world. 
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl. 

 
When you were in trouble that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone. 
Now look at you, I've turned around and you've almost grown. 
Sometimes you're asleep I whisper "I Love You!" in the moonlight at your door. 
As I walk away, I hear you say, "Daddy Love You More!". 

Your beautiful baby from the outside in. 
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again. 
Go on, take on this whole world. 
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl. 

Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand. 
But I won't say "yes" to him unless I know, he's the half
that makes you whole, he has a poet's soul, and the heart of a man's man. 
I know he'll say that he's in love. 
But between you and me. He won't be good enough!"

I totally agree--being a parent is a lot more bittersweet than I could have ever imagined...

So sweet! I always told Alex that every daddy needs a daughter.

Well thanks for making me cry! It just so happens, Tay was sitting on me screaming: Tickle me again when I was trying to read that, which only made it more intense! Thanks.
