Happy Father's Day!

If I never do anything more important in life I was able to be a part of making this man a father and for that I am forever grateful.
In the hospital

Father and Daughter
-Paul Simon

If you leap awake
In the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second
You can't remember where you are
Just open your window
And follow your memory upstream
To the meadow in the mountain
Where we counted every falling starGoing for a walk

I believe the light that shines on you
Will shine on you forever
And though I can't guarantee
There's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I’m gonna stand guard
Like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
And never leave till I leave you
With a sweet dream in your headAbby and her daddy at Christmas.

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loves his daughter more than I love youIn Red Lake.

Trust your intuition
It's just like going fishing
You cast your line
And hope you're getting a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest nightWalking around Corydon.

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loves his daughter more than I love youFirst time in the swimming pool.

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loves his daughter more than I love youFirst Father's Day - June 18, 2006

Wow, that was amazing. I am crying as I type this out.

Moodge, there is no one else that I would want to be a parent with. You did make my dream come true, but you did that the day you said "I do".

Thank you so much for giving me the gift of fatherhood. Our daughter is truly a gift from God, and we are blessed to have her as our child. I always knew that being a Dad was going to be fantastic, but I didn't think that it would be this great. And the thing that makes it so great? I get to share it with you.

I love you sweetie.

Your boy.
