Ok i have a princess and her name is Kayla Garcia, my 9 yr old daughter. I fall in love with her more and more everyday. She is not easy but she is going to be a remarkable women. Everyday i get to make new memories and the ones I am enjoying the most is our late night conversations when i am tucking her in. I get to hear how she thinks, what is troubling her, what perplexes her, what she dreams about. I love those conversations. Tonight i went to tuck her in at 9pm and stayed talking to her till 9:50pm. it was awesome! we talked about everything. she asked me questions i asked her questions. about life, about food, about animals whatever she wanted to talk about. Nothing got in our way, no schedule, no cell phone, no clothes to wash, no sleepiness, no little brother jumping on top of us, it was just me and her, Daddy and princess.
The highlight of our conversation was when she started to ask about where people go when they don't know God. See, she accepted God 4mos ago, and got baptized 2wks ago, so she knows where she is going, but she wanted to get refreshed on what happens to those who don't know. Well after a little refresher she ended up leading us in prayer for those she cares about that do not know Christ. it was awesome! I will always remember everyone of these conversations forever, i want to be her best friend. Everytime we have these conversations i feel she trusts me more and more, so she can always open up to me.
Just wanted to share with you one of the many blessings in my life. My Princess! Thankyou Lord for my Princess! :)

I can tell you, she'll never forget those moments either. That's the best way to leave a legacy!
I's good to see how much you love and enjoy her...she's really a princess...and in her eyes, you're a prince. Enjoy your blessings!!!
There is one thing that a man can say that always gets to my heart and soul... talking about how he feels about his children, spending time with them but most of all, finding the amazing moments that he will always remember. You are so blessed to be surrounded by God's blessings. I realize that it must be difficult to raise both of your children as I don't know your family situation...but if your blog is any indication, you are doing an astounding job! I work with children with special needs everyday...and when I get time to counsel is the time I enjoy the most. Have a blessed day!
Its amazing how we fall in love with our kids over and over as if it were the first time we laid eyes on them. God has blessed us with being parents and that is a priceless blessing. Through the ups and down of parenting (their are many)God had entrusted us a his children and I'm proud of you for sticking around to do your part. Your an awesome dad... God bless Kayla, Andres and daddy!
You are a great dad!
We are Blessed.......
