Four Years On This Planet, Is A Long Time.

July 7, 2012

Today is my birthday!!! My holiday!!! I am four years old. Daddy said "This is a special day. Birthdays are more important than any other holiday. Its your holiday, baby" I of course replied "I'm four years old. I'm not your baby anymore, Daddy. I'm your big girl now."

Daddy opened his arms and gave me the biggest hug and said "Yes you are. I'm so proud of you. My little girl is growing up. I love you so much, Maritza" I noticed a fluctuation in his voice as he spoke to me. it reminded me of when he talks about Grandma.

"Are you crying, Daddy? Crying because you don't want the women to come take me away from you?" Why I said that he'll never know. "No one is taking you away from me. You are mine, forever. I love you so much, Maritza. Your such a big  girl now. I'm also so happy to enjoy everyday with you,  especially your birthday. Your birthday is the day that reminds you how much you have accomplished in a year. How much you have grown in a year. how much you have learned in a year. Its the day that says "This is my special day" Well this is your special day and I hope you have fun" Daddy already knew as I hugged him again, I felt the same exact way. Now lets go and enjoy my day together.
