six months
Audrey Mae, as trite as it may be to say, I cannot believe how quickly these six months have passed. I've been thinking a lot lately about the nature of time; while I may not have anything original to lend to the subject, I find myself wanting to express something of it to you. Everyday I am amazed just how much joy and wonder you have packed into our lives in such short order. And I know that's the sort of sentiment I would have shrugged off as so much treacle before you were born, but I'll be damned if it isn't absolutely true now. Everyday I want to hold onto the minutes I have have with you in as tightly as I possibly can, knowing all too well that it's silly to think that way. When I picture the tiny baby we brought home from the hospital last December, it's hard to believe that was you - you're such a little person now. To see you so aware of your surroundings, to see you begin to examine and think about your world, it blows my mind. I have so much fun with you, there could never be enough time in the day. I'll continue wishing I could freeze time, wishing I could hold onto moments longer than I have any right to...hopefully, you'll understand that the sentimental fool you call dad goes on this way only because he adores you so.
