Ava,

I want a better world for you, i do not want you to ever make the mistakes I have made, or feel any of the pain i have ever felt. 

I know you will have your trials and your triumphs, and I hope I can help you celebrate the good times, and I hope you will take my hand when I offer it to help you after you have stumbled....

I wish I could make today different, and I am not giving up, and I hope I never do...

I want you to know how much you make me smile, and how much I love you...it's not every day that I get the chance to tell you... although I have tried to make it that way... and sometimes this is the only way to let you know...

But I do love you so much...  and you are my hope...

I love you little one...

Dad
