You’ll Always Be In My Heart
Dear Julia,
You’re just full of surprises. At times, I’m not even sure where you learn, exactly what you do or say. You’re possibly reading this at some point, and wondering what I am talking about? What could you have possibly said or done. It’s simply the fact you already have one of the biggest hearts that I have ever met in this world. And there are two examples of this in the last 24 hours.
First, last night you showed me how much you already want to help or be there for others. You come up with these random kind acts of service to others, because you want everyone to be just as happy as you. When walking around your room, you found an old Rainbow book that we ended up reading on a regular basis when you were 2.5 to 3 years old. You talked about how much you loved the memories of me reading this book to you, and it made you so happy, and it was now time to allow others to enjoy the same happiness this brook brought you. Wanting to give the book to someone else, you also included a little clip toy that we used to play with over and over again as well. Your sole purpose of this gesture, was to bring smiles to others, and it’s just amazing to see how big that little heart of yours already is.
The second instance was on the drive you daycare this morning. You’ve been in a very loving mood recently, craving hugs, cuddles, and more. I’ve been soaking up as much of this as possibly, not only because it’s just such an incredibly feeling when you run into my arms, and give me a big loving squeeze that is more genuine than anything I have ever experience. But also because I know it won’t last forever, and before I know it you will be older, and might not want as many hugs from me. Be when you read this one day, please think about giving me a hug. I might need it more than you think.
But as I digressed, what was really amazing was on the car ride to school, you began to talk, about heaven, and me going to heaven. I thought it was beyond sweet and then you continued. You talked about how if I go to heaven, that you’ll always be in my heart, and that your heart, will be in my heart. You don’t know this, because I was driving and facing the4 other direction, but I melted. And when I could, I immediately reached back to tough your leg and let you know how much I loved you.
Julia, you’re the sweetest little girl that I have ever met. I know your heart will always be bigger than most, if not all the other humans I will ever meet. You smile, laugh, kindness, and more make the world, truly a better place. I’m just thrilled to be part of it, and get to be your dad.
I love you Julia.
Daddy
