To my future daughter,


       I'll be there when you learn how to crawl, stand and eventually walk.

       I'll be there when you start preschool, kindergarten, high school and university.

       I'll be there when you lose your first tooth and when you lose your last.

       I'll be there when you need help with your homework and choosing a career path.

       I'll be there when you have your first crush, first kiss, and first love.

       I'll be there when you have your first heartbreak and your last.

       I'll be there when you just need to cry, talk, or even just hug.

       I'll be there when you graduate high school and when you graduate university.

       I'll be there when you're moving boxes and furniture into your own place.

       I'll be there when you get engaged and I'll be there in the pew looking at my beautiful daughter get married.

       I'll be there when you move into your own house and when you can't carry all the boxes.

       I'll be there when  you have your first child and your last.

       I'll be there when you just want to go out for some breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

       I'll be there whenever you want, wherever you want, and however you want.



       To my beautiful daughter,

       I'll be there.
