Katherine, that last few weeks just flew by in a busy mesh of businesses being busy and mom-time being a very special time in every day. I am glad we get to spend our days together no matter how busy life gets.
Today is a special day that I wanted to share with you – it’s the anniversary of your grandfather, my dad, passing away 6 years ago. I am sad that you’ll never have a chance to meet him and you’ll never have a chance to hear his stories … but one day as you grow up I will tell you about him. I know he would have been proud to be a grandfather and he would have been so proud to hold you in his arms – and I trust that he is watching over us.
When I watch you as you spend time with your dad (and I can’t get enough of just watching you two), I am grateful that Mark is so wonderful with you, that he is all you can wish for in a dad. The bond between a daughter and her father is very special… and you two are just so precious to watch together. Your dad in his very analytical way will ask you to “use your words” when you are crying in one moment and will make funny faces at you in the next moment, embracing his playful side that you have brought out in him… and you will reward him with the biggest smile you seem to reserve just for dad!
You are teaching me that the memories we create today will be with us forever. Today makes me conscious about making every moment count as for some day there will be no more moments we get to share together. I love every moment we have together, rain or shine (cries or laughs), cuddle-time, play-time or work-time, it’s all OUR time.
