I'm Blessed


“What is it?  What is it?”  I yelled.  These words of anticipation filled the air in the delivery room.  “You’ve got your little girl, honey!”…I exclaimed to my wife after seeing the results of nine hours labor.  Expressions of love, joy and relief rang out from a very proud and happy daddy at the birth of his only daughter—seven pounds, four ounces of loveliness.  Wow!  What a blessed day that was!

I wanted a little girl so badly that when she arrived the beauty of her precious face and long, black hair won my heart immediately.  I fell in love with her the moment I saw her.  She melted my heart and still does every time I see her.  She’s my sweetheart.

Our first child was a boy, but I felt our home was not complete without a girl to warm our hearts even more; a girl for my wife.  Little did I realize the enormous blessing that she would play in completing me as a father.  I don’t think she knows how much she affected me on that wonderful day when God chose me to be her dad.  I’m blessed.

As I write these few words I am welling up with pride, because of her accomplishments.  She has a family of her own now; she is a woman of God and dedicated to His statutes; a loving wife; a compassionate mommy to her two children; an accomplished seamstress, house wife, and registered nurse.  She is a loving daughter that spoils her mom and me by pouring out love like a fountain of refreshing water.

There is something about my daughter that completes the picture—she’s mine!  Our gift from God will always be Daddy’s little girl.  When I look into her hazel, brown eyes I flash back to that amazing day when she made her first appearance.  I am thankful that God blessed us with one of His most precious jewels—Diane Marie.

Love Dad
