One of the drawbacks to running on auto-pilot is sometimes I
forget to let the nice emotions out too.
So, since this is what I created this blog for, today’s post lets you in
on the sappy side.
I can almost see my husband rolling
his eyes now as he reads this – being gushed about or thanked on any sort of
social network is certainly not high on his list
There has been one big bright shining spark throughout the
last year and that has been my husband. He
has loved our little girl with his whole being, from the moment he met her. If
you watch them together or listen to him talk about her, you can almost see the
love resonating through him. I don’t know how to explain it because I don’t
know how it is for the rest of you but loving my little girl did not came
naturally. I loved her with my mind first (of course I loved her, she was my
daughter) but loving her with my heart came later. I can tell just by watching
Andrew that it is not the same for him. He definitely loves her with his heart
and I’m pretty sure he does not need logic to know he wants to laugh and play
with her as he does.
She lights up when he walks in the room. “Daddy?” is often
the first thing she asks about in the morning, pitter-pattering into the
bedroom to make sure he’s up too. Their love is palpable and it has warmed my
heart even on my darkest days to see the two of them together. She is a Daddy’s
girl to the highest degree and it has been my saving grace.
