Real Stories from Real Dads
Falling In Love All
Over Again!
It's been five years...we've been on a cruise,
seen the Caribbean, raised our Chinese Pugs, paid off all of our credit
card debt, we own our house, have 4 cars (yes 4!)...I think we're ready to
start our family!
We got married on July 30, 1994, and talked about
having kids...all we knew was that we wanted a "bunch of 'em."
It was on our 5th Anniversary in Destin, FL, that we found out we were
expecting!
On April 9, 2000, we had our first child...a beautiful
baby girl! WOW! I immediately fell in love. And just
like falling in love, it keeps getting better with each new
day.
The first night my little girl fell asleep in my arms,
I was "whooped." Then she said "Dada."
Next, she's waiving bye-bye, playing "peek-a-boo," even plays
drums with me! And, yes, she even likes to watch football and
boxing!!! It's a perfect relationship!
And the best thing about it is, the more I show
love for my little girl, and the more time I spend with her, the more my
wife falls in love with me all over again.
As an old college football boy who's team won the
NCAA National Championship in 1992, I had no idea how great life could
be. Take my ring...but don't take my title (daddy). I'm
focused on being the best daddy and the best husband I can be. You
can count me in...I'm committed...we're a Family4Life!
