It's less than a month now and I'll be walking my little Lauren down the alise. To me it was only yesterday I was holding her hand and walking her across the street.
My little Lauren... Just look at her now... all grown up. Last night she had a bridal shower and as I watched her and Lane open gifts at times I had to fight off the tears.
I know parents want their children to grow up... to be their own person and I want this more than anything for Laruen and Lane, but being the Dad I am , it's hard for me to let go. I don't mean this in a hard kind of way.. Lauren and her two sisters are a very special part of me... and like the song goes "I Loved her First" and will always love them.
You know on Oct 11, 2008 when I take my little girl by the arm and walk her down the alise and part of my heart will be breaking, yet a part will be rejoicing. You know the heart is a very amazing thing... it has the ability to love without question, it can break and then heal, sometimes not all the way oh, and then last it has the ability to grow. When Melissa got married my heart was torn just like I feel now for Lauren, but then came two little Grandsons... and what a joy they are. There's nothing like hearing 'Love you PawPaw' and the feel of a HUG from Gage that just makes your heart feel warm and then there's little Noah.. his big blue eyes and his little smile. He's only a year old, but yet he still knows the way to PawPaws heart is with that big smile he gives me when he sees me. What a feeling... This is TRUE Love... no questions, no conditions...
In closing, I want to post one more picture of what makes me happy in this life .. Melissa, Lauren, and Mary Kathryn.. Love you girls.. ;-)
