I can’t believe it has been three years. I don’t recall life before she arrived and frankly don’t care. She’s learning to read now. Both my wife and I read to her at least twice a day which is an accomplishment since neither of us are readers. It is incredibly rewarding to hear her sitting alone in her room at times reading her books to herself.
To those of you without kids, of course she isn’t reading but reciting the stories she has been read a hundred times. The point is she is discovering wonders in her books that we have otherwise been unable to reveal to her in real life. Fascinating stuff.
She has taken to watching for me in the evenings when I arrive home from work. I cannot recall any greater joy in my life than watching her face light up as she peers through the curtains when my cars pulls in the drive.
Speaking of reading. I’m currently reading “Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters” by Dr. Meg Meeker. I highly recommend it to fathers of daughters everywhere.
