The Father, The Daughter, and the Spirit

.
 
So I was on the couch, working on the computer…
Melissa and Julia were in the bedroom, doing I didn’t know what…
Suddenly JuJu came walking out (balanced by Mommy) with the biggest smile on her face and a paper in her hand…
She walked straight to Daddy and handed me the paper, no holding on, still grinning ear to ear…
“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” she and Mommy yelled…
They had secretly made me a card…
 
Happy Daddy Day XXOOXXOOXXOO…
From your JuJu ButterFly! I Love You! Julia…
Our 1st Father’s Day Together…
 
And that is where I lost it…
And this is where I still burst into tears, the image of my beaming daughter running to my arms, hugging and Loving me, giving me a present, burned into my mind… forever!
 
O what a delight it is to be a Father!
 
Never before have I known Spirit so intimately as I have this past year…
To see the pure innocence of… Life…
demonstrated to me…
teaching me…
 
And it has been a year now, hasn’t it?
Julia’s first birthday is this saturday… wow.
 
<3
