I Opened My Eyes...........
...And you were there; as you have been for the last 12 years. I need you know to know that I did "SEE" you. I do "see" you. I do "see" what a wonderful man that you are ( I tell everybody...I really do) I feel you beside me, even when you are physically not near me. Through all the tough times, the happy times, the struggles, the loss and more importantly the wins...The one constant, is you being there. Most of my cherished memories include you...*smile* you know that. I look at Cammie and see your eyes, your smile and I hear your mischievous tone in her laugh. I *smile* when I hear her talk to you, whether we are in the same room or on the phone when we are on an "adventure". She asks you almost daily "How was your day daddy?" and she waits and actually listens to what you have to say about it.... I know your heart lunges forward, towards her when she calls your name "Daddy". You are not the greatest father because you provide her with nice clothes and a ton of toys..... You are the greatest father, because you love her unconditionally and the love you feel for her ...She exudes. Cammie is a special girl, she is bright, funny, witty, and she has a good heart... I would like to think that she gets some of that from me....But her love for other people, her patience and her heart is all you. What better gift to give a child, but all of the best qualities that are in you?
