A girl who would stand at my ankles and look up at me with reverence and admiration and expect that I would and could protect her from anything in the whole world. A delicate little lady who would one day ask me about life and death, and sex and love, and all of the scary things I had had to learn on my own. A little, sweet angel that would never have to question my love and support for her. A precious, innocent heart that was mine to care for and nurture. My little girl.”

“Dear Sophia, Welcome to this crazy world of ours. I sure hope you like to travel, because your mom and I haven’t planted roots anywhere in almost two years. Scratch that . . . I just hope you like boats. Thankfully, it’s been a long time since I’ve been to a hospital, and this time I couldn’t be happier for the reason that brought me back to one. In fact, sitting next to a hospital bed for two days awaiting your arrival made me think of someone else. Someone I loved once, and someone who led me to your mom. Jessica paused to look up at me, and I leaned in and gave her a kiss. I want you to know how much your mom and I love each other, and how much we love you. How much we’ve talked about your arrival, and how eager we are to get to know you better. We can’t wait to hear the sound of your voice. We can’t wait to see if you’ll like dresses or jeans, or prefer blue to pink. We can’t wait to show you the water and our world, and we can’t wait to see what an amazing woman you’ll become. We’ve imagined all of it. Mom and I want you to know that you can do anything with your life. That we will take care of you and teach you everything we know and give you every opportunity to follow your dreams. Imagine us smiling and cheering you on every step of the way. As for what you do afterward . . . we can only imagine.”
