A "new" six year old as of today, she is an extremely inquisitive young lady with a passion for life. A typical girl who loves dressing up, playing with Barbies and friends, and reading, she is atypical in the way that she carries on mature conversations, shows a deep compassion for others, and asks relevant questions that leaves one pondering her young wisdom.
Being a realistic father, there are many challenges of raising such a strong child. Although these times may cause frustration, I often see how these will be a strength for her as a woman in this world. It excites me to think about the impact she will make on others' lives and to see what God has in store for her.
This morning, she and I woke up early and went for a walk along the Gulf shore in Ft. Myers. As we reflected on this past year and all that she has accomplished, it amazes me to see the growth that happens so quickly. Just in the past year she has learned to do the following: read, write, swim, and ride a bike. All these things she will use for a lifetime, were learned within a year. God continues to amaze me through this beautiful creation that calls me Papa!
