I Wrote This Letter on Valentine's Day, 2015

                                                                                                           
Dear Ambria,

Once upon a time, there was little girl who used to follow me around. She couldn’t keep up with me I walked, so she would stop and cry out for me to carry her. Well, one day I just kept on walking and she kept on following me. She was wearing blue jeans and rain boots and carrying a walking stick. When I turned around to notice her, she was so adorable that I just fell smack dab in love with her in that very moment. Because, after all, she was my precious baby girl!
Ever since that day, I have been smitten with butterflies in my tummy every time you look at me. Your big, brown eyes are always searching for answers to questions unspoken. You are honest. You are true. You are faithful. You are smart. You love Jesus and pray to him at night. You make me and your mommy so proud!

I can’t believe your last report card …. It was perfect, perfect, perfect! And that calls for a celebration! Therefore please consider my official request to invite you out to a special dinner on Valentines’ Day. Will you be my date? Will you put on a pretty dress, and ask mommy to do your hair super pretty? Will you hold my hand and let me give you hugs and kisses?

I’m taking you out on a date, somewhere special. All three of my daughters sitting across from me, so I can look at you and watch you grow up in an instant!

I just want you to know that I miss you so much! And I’m really excited to see you and I just want to pick you up and hold you in my arms and never ever ever ever let go!

Please don’t forget to keep praying to Jesus every night. And don’t forget to pray for me, that I will be safe and that I will keep working hard to become a better Christians. I want to be the kind of daddy that will always make you proud. As a matter of fact, that’s about the only thing in the world that I care about anymore.

Always remember: I will always love you. Even if you ever do something really, really bad… I will still be there for you. There is nothing you can ever do to make me love you any more or less than I already do!

Remember who you belong to, daughter of God.

I love you forever and ever and ever and ever,


Daddy
