To my daughters
You two made me truly understand love, in how to give it unconditionally and innocently, and how big an arrogant fool I am in life.
to my kids,
You both are just 5, but daddy is very grateful for all you have taught me about myself. You have humbled me with your innocent love and forgiveness. I am very sorry if I have already let you down, I am sorry when I yelled to protect, when I got irrational to keep you safe. I am so sorry when I have lost my temper when you didn’t understand the world and its ways, oh you were just 3 my angels, I am sorry when you simply wanted more love with your tears I am sorry I responded with impatience and anger. My dear, I have often been lost in the wasteful ways of this world and have ignored my most precious gifts and moments, the simple joy of a smile and laughter with you is more precious than all I have gained. You made me realize how big a fool I am. I hope this fool remembers always how big a fool he is and am reminded of my love for you and your happiness, and your grace towards this simple dad. I love you, you have made me responsible and hopeful of this world, you have given me grander reasons to solve some of the problems out there.
Daddy loves you, always.
I almost had tears reading this. Excellent. Everybody big and small needs this once in a while. We are so obsessed with our daily chores that we forget to express our core which is full of love, patience and all the good that we can ever imagine.
