Avery Claire,
I cannot believe you will be one in four days. I've thought a lot lately about the day you were born. Mommy woke me up on the morning of March 25 and said, "I think I may be in labor." I cannot explain to you the rush of emotions I felt at hearing those words. We'd been looking forward to meeting you and we had done a lot to get ready for you. But, boy, was I scared when I realized you were really making your appearance when I thought we had another week to get ready to be parents.
I could never tell you, Pooh Bear, how very much I love you. I never really knew what unconditional love was until you came along. You have brought so much joy to us and you bring joy to all of those around you. On the day we brought you home from the hospital, we got into the car and this song was playing. It was like God planned it that way, just for me. Songs have never held a lot of meaning for me, but that one did and still does.
You are such a funny little girl and your Mommy and I laugh at you all of the time. We don't know what we did with ourselves before you came along. Life must have been so boring. Your little giggle is the sweetest sound I've ever heard. We have so much fun watching you learn and grow. You are such a busy little girl and keep us on our toes!
As I look back on the past year with you, I want you to know how much I love you. I cannot imagine our life without you in it. I would be the first to admit I was scared to death to become a parent. But you make me want to be the very best that I can be for you. You make me so proud to be your daddy. I will always be proud of you and I will love you forever and ever. You will always be my little girl.
I love you so very much,
Daddy
