An Ode to Taylor

It was seven years ago, that a wonderful person came into this world.  It was seven years ago that I became a father to a beautiful baby girl.

Just Born

Little by little, she has grown to become more than a child, but a friend.  Someone I rely on to lighten my day, and make me feel truly needed in this world.

Seven years can change a person; in seven years people change.  In seven years my daughter has become smart, funny and sometimes a bratty “big girl.”Her mother calls her Taylor Marie when she is mad, but her real name is Taylor Marie Nicole you see.

 

Being a young parent, things can be hard, but with some time and TLC those hard edges become smooth, soft and com-fy.This “Ode to Taylor,” as I like to call it, is merely about the spirit that calls on me about 2 times a month.  I am many things to this sweet blonde kiddie, but most important of all I am daddy.

She is “daddy’s little helper”, an asker of all things known to man.  She always keeps me guessing, always on my toes. 

Daddy will always love her.  I hope she will always love me.  Without her in my life, for I am not me.  I will always be around for her.  I just hope someday she becomes what she truly wants to be.
