I am always there for you

There's nothing that could ever change how I feel about you, I love you princess. I remember noticing the maturity I have witnessed in how you handled little conflicts and how much you enjoyed playing together.

I am very proud of you my little girl and I cherish the memories of our vacations.  I hope you achieve all your dreams and I hope to be there next to you when this happens. I believe you will be a very smart and successful person and I hope you don’t feel abandoned by your daddy as I am always here for you.

Good night

Good night angel. Hope you are having sweet dreams

Love you

Dad

Morning gorgeous

Hey little one, I hope you've had a good weekend my darling.

I've missed you more than anything, I've spent some time with a friend who has a 10 months old little boy and spending time with him made me think even more about you. Ohh how i miss you my angel....

I was looking at some correspondences and found a letter from just before my birthday this year, then we were seeing each other 3 times a week and we had an amazing time together, anyway just before my birthday I asked your mother to spend my birthday with you and her answer was:

"I do not believe it to be appropriate for Ava to spend the whole day with you on your birthday, or at all. Ava is 14 months old. She will not have any understanding of the fact that it is her Dad's birthday and whilst this proposal is for your benefit, I feel it is too much for Ava."

This correspondence was written on 3 May and you were 15 months not 14 !! !!

Hopefully we'll spend other birthdays together my darling.

With love

Dad

Happy 21 months

Princess Ava today you turn 21 months.

I wish we could be together my dear, i think of you every minute.

Since your mother does not allow us to spend time together I try to follow how other kids of your age are developing, this makes me feel closer to you.

This is what I think you should be doing by now:

Helps around the house 

Your are probably interested in rearranging furniture, assisting with housework, and using your own play shelves, table, and chairs. You might also be able to put on your clothing, wash and dry your hands, or brush your teeth with help.

Want to do it your way 

You should be showing signs that you are growing up with tantrums and exploration, also want things done your way. This is a sign that you feel secure enough to want to manage for yourself. I hope people around you respect your preferences and interests and try to give in on the little things, like which jam to use on toast or which shirt or blanket to use.  Of course some things, like behavior that affects safety are not up for negotiation. 

Finally I wonder if you are ready for toilet training and sticking to routines, this helps you feel secure and in control. 

Love you

Dad

You make me smile

I wish I could be there always, but I cannot. Sometimes I wonder if tears make the pain better or worse. Could there ever be too many or not enough? I am no superman, but I know I have found one of the best parts of me, and even when I miss you too much to say, you still makes me smile…
