Daughter

A providential miracle, she captivated me from birth. She embodied an innocence and wholesome purity of such sublime quality that I instantly knew only God could create such an extraordinary wonder. I felt like a child with his first pet when I saw her and I was drawn to her like a magnet of love that bonded and sealed human life. I was compelled to cuddle this creative miracle and marvel at God’s handicraft. From that moment on she would forever be the special entity I called “precious pet.” When her sister arrived I was beside myself with pride. Immersed in gratitude and drenched in joy I could hardly fathom my good fortune.. Sweet as sugar and cuddly like a bear, she possessed a sparkle and spirit that defined fun and spelled felicity. From that very instant she would forever be my precious – little “Sugar-bear.” Like a trophy case with twin Oscars these sibling darlings would grow in to my proudest accomplishment. They were and remain inestimable female prizes that would make any dad beam with pride and proudly proclaim - “that’s my daughter!”
