'TO MY DAUGHTER'

PLEASE DO NOT DELETE


THIS WILL HIT YOU WHERE IT HURTS!


*Just for this morning, I am going to step over the 
laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play. 

*Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the 
sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours 
together. 

*Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep 
the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow 
bubbles.

*Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny 
grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck and I 
will buy you one if he comes by. 

*Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you 
are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every 
decision I have made where you are concerned. 

*Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake 
cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.

*Just for
 this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy 
us both a Happy
 Me al so you can have both toys. 

*Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell 
you a story about how you were born and how much I love you. 

*Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub 
and not get angry. 

*Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we 
sit on the porch and count all the stars. 

*Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for 
hours, and miss my favorite TV shows. 

 
*Just for this evening when I run my finger through your 
hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given 
me the greatest gift ever given. 

*I will think about the mothers And fathers who are 
searching for their missing
 children, the mothers and

fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead 
of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital 
rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming
inside 
that they can't handle it anymore.
 

*And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little 
tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for 
you, and ask Him for nothing, except one more day.............
