To Gina on Mother’s Day,
I want to share with you what I felt the first time seeing
our daughter. I will never forget that day. We woke up early that morning to go
to the hospital. We stayed there all day. I remember the whole time thinking
how crazy it was that after nine months we would finally see our daughter. Ha I
remember watching The Lost World Jurassic Park while you were going through
contractions. We finally turned it off and pushed out a baby. Seeing you go
through so much pain, sweat and tears was heart breaking. I was however glad
you didn’t give up, even though I know you were struggling. After the struggle
is when a miracle happened. Our daughter Addisyn Rae was born! When I first saw
her it was a little weird because it still didn’t hit me that she was ours. Maybe
because she was purple and the head was a little deformed? However when I got
to hold her for the first time it was love, and I knew she was ours. I loved
her face, she was so chunky and cute. I was never so happy and so scared at the
same time. I was now a father. Words cannot express what I felt that day when I
was able to hold our Addie in my arms for the first time. They cannot express
how I feel this day seven months later when she smiles, or cries, or laughs. I love
being her father. However my favorite thing about being her father is seeing
you as her mother! I was so scared that night when I was holding her and the doctor was cleaning
you up. He kept cleaning and cleaning. I thought I would lose you and that
scared me more than I have ever been scared. I’m glad we have survived this
time together with our daughter. You are the best wife and mother! I love you
so much. You are my world and I hope I can be as good of a father as you are a
mother!
Love,
Danny
