Happy Birthday Lucy!
July 9, 2008
Punk #3 is 4 years old today. She was so excited that she couldn’t fall asleep in bed last night. Punk #3 brings energy and joy and laughter and lots and lots of talking to our family. She loves to chat at the end of the day and will lay in bed and tell me all that she is thinking about, everything that happened during the day and everything that will happen tomorrow (per her agenda).
Punk #3 loves to be with people. She loves her brothers and her cousins and her friend Annie, whom she talks about every day. Punk #3 is independent and strong willed (read independent and strong willed in the best senses of the terms). She is the baby. Punk #1 and #2 have always called me Papa. Mama refers to me as Papa. She calls me Daddy. I tried a few times to correct her…she just looked at me funny and continues to call me Daddy.
Punk #3 is 4 today and I appreciate and celebrate all that she is.
Happy Birthday Lucy!

I can only imagine the emotion that wells up inside of you as you wrote this. No words could ever express that of a proud papa/daddy.
My little one will be 4 in six short months – and then she will be 18 and 25 and standing next to my coffin. I don’t want to waste a moment.
