WATCHING GIRLS GROW UP.

I always wanted to have a son. Mostly because I wanted to teach him to play sports and maybe even live vicariously through him like everybody else gets to do.  But when my wife and I had trouble having kids at first, I just wanted a healthy baby. After being blessed with my second daughter, I got the hint.  I'm not having any sons so be the best father possible to those little girls.  I now have decided that having daughters isn't so bad, I still get hugs and kisses and an occasional snuggle. Try doing that with you 10 year old son, without child services knocking at your door.   And, to my delight, they both are into sports.  the 10 year old is into basketball and softball and even made an all-star team. The 8 year old is into softball, cheerleading and gymnastics.  Both are tremendous students (they take after their Mom) and both are great kids and loyal friends.  I count my blessings everyday I have these two little miracles in my life.  I often tell my 8 year old "You're not allowed to get married, you have to stay with me forever." and she always giggles and kisses me.  Yesterday was different.  We were in the pool and I said "You're not allowed to get married, you have to stay with me forever."  She giggled and then said "well, unless you like the guy" I laughed, but died a little inside. My baby was growing up and someday there will be some "GUY".  All I can say is, may God have mercy on that "GUY".
