I love my daughters
I don't know if I can say that or show that enough. Cielo is turning 4 this December, and enjoys school. She is boyish, active, sweet and smart/talkative. Never ceases to surprise us with what she says, thinks, can do in and out of the home. She has Mommy's looks, sweetness, and as per consensus, Daddy's naughty, mischievous streak.
Camilla is handful but sweet 9 month baby. She loves to eat, and is bigger for her age. And thats a bit of bad news, as she loves to be carried, rendering the stroller and crib useless :) At least it will help as alternative work out/weights for us hehe.
Baby #3 underway, we're not yet sure if its a boy or girl. I thought I wanted a boy, but at this point, it doesn't matter. Boy, Girl, its not as important as either way, he or she is a blessing. :) I think I recall that from my Dad, that all children, babies are a blessing. It was reinforced by my Uncle in law Tito Eddie, godfather at our wedding, that with each child, there comes a corresponding blessing. We may not see it, or not know it, but it will be there. Maybe a promotion here, or a new house/car there, or even some event that we overlook (good health, good fortune). So, if a girl, sorry kiddo, you will be hand-me-down girl, if a boy, then Mommy will have her endearing Mommy's boy, and my possible basketball playmate. Either way works.
In hindsight, Cielo brought about the new, small but wonderful home we got. Camilla, a new start for both of our careers (more on that later I guess), Baby#3, who knows, but I will welcome it, be appreciative. There will be times I'll struggle to grasp or remember it, but it will be apparent and evident at some point.
I look forward to coming home to see my daughters, asleep or playing, crying or whining. I look to give them a warm hug and kiss before I leave. I may not show it all the time, or get to be the best dad or provider for them, but they are the reason I am alive and look forward to life. I tend to kid my wife, that hopefully she is not too envious as 2 other women have replaced here or in competition right now, as most beautiful, for my attention and love :) I think she is ok with it hehe.
My kids have caused me to change my view on life, and be a focal point or reason. Camilla's thought helped me from being depressed, suicidal even for a very small, brief point. Cielo is a reminder of how fast things grow, change and there are still so much to do, to be done, with them and for them. Not bad for someone who never sees too far ahead than just 2-3 yrs, or never imagined to be a dad, family man when I graduated at 21.
Thanks God for my kids, and for your continued love and blessing.
