I just want to say thank you for being such a fun, beautiful and loving companion to me when mommy's in the hospital. Except when other family and friends were around, I used to be alone a lot when mommy had to stay in the hospital...it was no fun leaving her alone, driving in the car alone, running errands alone, sleeping in the hotel alone.
Now, I have you to miss mommy with, buy clean underwear and socks with, eat in the cafeteria with, and bring mommy home with...you make the missing much easier. And, I know that mommy feels better about me not being so alone too. You make our lives better in every way, just by being you!
Love,Papa
Precious! I am so glad you have her!

ReplyDeleteAwwww, you had me at "papa"! That's what I called my dad, and still do at 34. He's now "Grandpapa", but he's still just MY papa too. On a totally different note, her eyes look great! My friend had girl twins at 25 weeks, and one of the twins also need the strabimisimous (sp?) sx, I'm always so thankful for modern medicine!!!

ReplyDeleteSo wonderful. I love this!
ReplyDeleteThat letter is so sweet! What a great picture.
ReplyDeleteYour daddy's love for your daughter is so precious. This is the sweetest picture of Gwyneth yet. I pray you guys have a super Saturday and a wonderful day of worship on Sunday. I am praying for Tricia as she recovers from the pneumonia. Blessings!!!
ReplyDeleteawwwww!!!! How sweet. That brought tears to my eyes. :)
ReplyDeleteI think of every post I've ever read that you did Nate, this tops them all! You must print this out and give to Gwyneth when she turns 16 or something or throwing a teenage fit!
ReplyDeleteawwww! this gets best post of the month! how sweet!
ReplyDeleteYour perspective is amazing and the force of your love is palpable. What a lucky girl she is.
ReplyDeleteShe is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteShe is just as lucky to have you and Tricia as you guys are to have her.
So sweet!
It's amazing isn't it? :) Yeah for truly wonderful little people! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet, Nate! I'm glad you have her, too!
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever commented before - I read your blog from Hong Kong, but this post made me just have to comment.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to sum up so much, it is just beautiful, and this is also one of the nicest pictures I've seen of Gwyneth even though it is a little blurry, she looks very wise :-)
So glad you all three of you have each other.
One sentence: She's lucky to have you as her Dad!
ReplyDeleteawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
ReplyDeleteOMG! In that picture, your sweet baby looks like a TODDLER to me! They grow so fast.
ReplyDeleteWhat a heartfelt note to your daughter.
That is such a beautifully expressed sentiment! That hopefully all parents can relate to in part. Isn't it amazing how you can still keep being a little more in love with your child every new day? And she with you guys. Its too wonderful. Happy for all of you and happy for your sister and her husband with their newborn too.
ReplyDeletethis post is priceless nathan...
ReplyDeleteSweet post. Am I the only one that noticed that you don't do laundry when Mommy is gone? You just buy new socks and underwear. LOL, I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet it made me cry!
ReplyDeleteThat child is GORGEOUS!!! I can't believe how big she's gotten.
ReplyDeleteNate...you've got that whole daddy thing down! She's a lucky girl!
Having a buddy makes everything easier.
ReplyDeleteAnd Nate, no matter what, someone, somewhere will always disapprove. It's just a shame they feel a need to tell you.
I just LOVED this post!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious post.
ReplyDeleteShe looks more and more like you all the time!!!
ReplyDeletePS, love that pic showing her little teeth...how CUTE!
YAY Tricia for being able to come home and recover - praying for no more unplanned hospital visits/stays for as long as possible!
You are such a great Papa!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
This is just the most heart warming post I think I've ever read. It just gives me the warm fuzzies all over. You're an incredible father and husband. And very very blessed.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and touching. I'm so happy for all of you. I continue to pray for you.
ReplyDeleteThat is so touching!! Gwyneth will love reading all of the loving things you have to say about her and Tricia when she's older.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you all have each other and I'm glad Tricia is feeling better!
Aww.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, she looks so much like my youngest daughter, Maddie in that pic! Beautiful :)

Lucky daddy and even luckier daughter!
ReplyDeleteShe is so adorable
ReplyDeleteThank God for her
Nate, I have read some of your stories on this blog and I am speechless, you have been through a lot, but you are an encouragement, and your story is a testimony that God is faithful
I pray that Tricia's healing shall be permanent.
One of the sweetest things I've ever read...isn't it funny how children change everything? My kids (3) turned my whole life around. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture. She looks like a gorgeous combination of her mom and dad.
ReplyDeletePrecious words about one of the most precious gifts we are blessed to have! They need us to take care of them, but we reap such a wonderful bounty from them. Children are truly gifts from God!
ReplyDeleteI was so thrilled to see Tricia at church on Sunday! She is amazing! The three of you and your families are such an inspiration to me!
Much love from your sister in Christ, Claire Drake
