Letters to Daddy (on his first father's day)

Every morning we open our eyes to you. Another day begins.

You protect us from the boogie monster. Always making sure our doors are locked before we drift to sleep. You kill the bugs that sometimes find their way indoors.

You change diapers at 1am without so much as a grumble. You cook dinner with one hand while you provide comfort with the other. You’re always telling one or the other of us that we’re beautiful... and no one else on this earth makes us laugh like you do.

Sometimes I watch you going about this life. Caring for us. Doing for us. Being with us. Loving us with such conviction... and I wonder what sort of cosmic lottery I must have won to have you as my husband.

You are brains and music and fun and heart. You are what it means to be a husband. a friend. a father.

thank you, for all that you do.

Love (two girls who are madly, deeply for you)

Marcie & Aliyah
