Invisible.
One of my goals has always been to be the best darn father ever. I can’t say that I’ve been that.
It’s the small things that my daughter wants and needs; she’s not asking for the world. She just wants enough time for her to be able to express herself and for me to enjoy the things she enjoys because she believes with absolute certainty that I’ll enjoy them as well.
She’s wrong. I don’t always enjoy playing “elephante’s house” but she’s right in that I do enjoy her, watching her create a narrative with a hammer, a few stuffed toys, a beat-up hand-me-down playhouse, and a wild imagination.
Thank you God for my daughter and for her beautiful spirit of energy! I won’t take it for granted. I don’t ever want her to feel invisible.
Well said. Certainly should be every parent's desire.
Our son is now 21 and I've found more and more our children still want to know we care about the things they care about, the things which are important to them are important to us. They still don't want to feel invisible.
thanks for sharing. perhaps i still have some growing to do.

Our son is now 21. I'm finding more and more he still wants to know the things that are important to him are important to us, that we care aobut the things he cares about.
No matter their age they still don't want to feel invisible. Thanks for provoking thought.

I try to be intentional about spending as much time and attention as possible now with my daughter while she's young so that I'll still have the opportunity to do so when she's older.
We won't have the chance very long, and I never want to regret a missed chance with her…

you're right. don't ever want to regret. not doing it. nope.
I echo those sentiments exactly with my son. I don't want to wake up 20 years from now and regret that I didn't spend enough time with him when he was younger. Children are a gift from God, and we should treaat them as such
can't wait to have a son.
