A Father’s Heart

I love my daughter.

I love my daughter greater than I ever thought possible.
I love my family.
I love my wife.
But my child, my own child, I love more than anything.
I didn’t know that this type of love existed.

This has proven more so the last two days here at the hospital in Loma Linda. She has been more awake, more cognitive, and much more smiley. And let me tell you, she LOVES her dad. She locks eyes with me and will hold it forever. She will follow me with her eyes as I walk around the room. And she loves to give me smiles when I come back and make eye contact with her.

At this moment in time, there is nothing better than that. Nothing.

I love being a dad.
I always want to be a dad.
I thank God for giving me this opportunity.

God,
Keep wrapping your loving and healing hands around my daughter. Please help her fight, please help her body, please help her rest. I love you God, and I am asking you this please.
Amen
