HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZZIE
(written last March 17, 2013)
Today is my baby’s 7th birthday…we have no party…just a family lunch….doesn’t mean we’re not celebrating….because there certainly is a grand reason to celebrate…we just have priorities…and we can celebrate without a party….the most important thing is that the celebrator is happy.
Charlize Nicolette or Lizzie was a premature baby…and her mom certainly had a difficult time giving birth to her…she was her first caesarian, and even had a premature rupture of membrane….she came out just slightly heavier than 4 pounds. We had to leave her at the hospital…and every night, all of us, I, my wife, Dinah, and Nicole and Niccolo, including my parents, would pine for her…we wanted to be with her.
I went to the hospital every day, just to talk to her, to hold her, to hug her. A few days after she was born, I was informed that she seemed to have signs of Pneumonia, so an x-ray had to be done the next day. That afternoon, before leaving her again at the Nursery, I spoke to her again, while carrying her..I said, “Lizzie, we love you so much, and we need you, please get stronger for daddy and mommy.” …Then we all prayed that night, asking the Lord to make our baby strong and healthy.
The next morning, I and Dinah were in the hospital nursery very early, and we were informed that no x-ray was needed, as Lizzie was very strong and very active…I decided there and then, that I would bring my baby home…there were some hesitation and resistance, at first…but they took into consideration that I was a physician….and I knew what my Lizzie needed was the care, the attention, the embrace…the love…that only I, her mom and siblings could give her.
As a result of all these….Lizzie is the sweetest of all of our kids. They are all very close to us….but Lizzie always writes “I love you Daddy” in a piece of paper, often times with a heart on it, almost each day…. And she never fails to say “I love you so much and God bless you so much Daddy!”, every day, before we leave her at school.
Lizzie is now graduating Kindergarten…she is hyperactive, she is talkative, she is a smart aleck…she could be naughty….but she is smart, she is quick, she is sweet, she is loving…and she is the only one among my kids…who says…”GOD BLESS YOU SO MUCH DADDY!”
Happy birthday my dear Lizzie…you know Daddy loves you so much...and I will continue to love you even when you have babies of your own….you will always be my baby. Thank you so much for loving daddy and for making daddy’s and mommy’s days so much brighter and so much more wonderful!
I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!
GOD BLESS YOU SO VERY MUCH!
