Whenever I leave for work at night, I always send individual text messages to my kids and to my wife., because by the time I come home, they'd all be asleep.....
I don't send a sweeping message for everyone....I send a different message to each of them, depending on their personalities and on what had happened recently....
yes to all of them, including my 6 year old Lizzie...she has an
old "hand me down" cell phone.....
Last Thursday night, this was my message for Lizzie...
" Love you baby! Dad is so proud of you. Please pray before you sleep. God bless you!"...
After a few minutes my wife texted me, informing me, that since Lizzie could already read, she wanted to send me her own message....
so she asked her siblings for instructions on how to text.....
and after a few minutes....I got this message......
"I love you sooo much Dad!"....
I tell you it blew me away and it gave me an instant shot of uppers or whatever we take to treat those blues away.....
It was her very first message....and it was about how much my baby loved me....now this makes everything worthwhile, doesn't it?......
Perhaps it had something to do with setting the example.....every time I would text them on my way to work,
my messages would always start with...."I love you Princess / Son / Baby."
and end with "Please pray. God bless you!" ......
That is what I've texted Lizzie for so long...
so when she finally decided to text me for the first time, she didn't ask for anything...
she decided to tell me that she loved me sooo much!
After her text, I answered...
"Very good baby!"...
she was so thrilled that I answered back,
so she texted again....
"Thank you daddy!"
No...thank you Lizzie!
You, Nikki and Niccolo, together with your mom,
give meaning to my life...and....
I love all of you sooooo much!
