An Ode to Taylor
August 29th, 2006 by LeeIt was seven years ago, that a wonderful person came into this world.  It was seven years ago that I became a father to a beautiful baby girl.
Little by little, she has grown to become more than a child, but a friend.  Someone I rely on to lighten my day, and make me feel truly needed in this world.
Seven years can change a person; in seven years people change.  In seven years my daughter has become smart, funny and sometimes a bratty “big girl.”Her mother calls her Taylor Marie when she is mad, but her real name is Taylor Marie Nicole you see.
Being a young parent, things can be hard, but with some time and TLC those hard edges become smooth, soft and com-fy.This “Ode to Taylor,” as I like to call it, is merely about the spirit that calls on me about 2 times a month.  I am many things to this sweet blonde kiddie, but most important of all I am daddy.
She is “daddy’s little helper”, an asker of all things known to man.  She always keeps me guessing, always on my toes.

AAWWW!!! That is sweet, honey! I sure know our lives would be different without her. I am so glad the two of you have such a great relationship. I only hope that it continues to grow and strengthen with each passing year.

Very touching.
I like all the pictures in this post, but especially the first and the last. Quite a big change in seven years!
Congratulations to you and to Taylor on her birthday!
