We do not remember days, We remember moments (Page 2)
Journaling (page 1):
Each time I look at these photos, I become emotional and nostalgic. I’ve stared at them throughout the day today just trying to find the right words. Sure, I could describe the beautiful day and the joy you felt when Papa helped you catch your first fish. I could tell you it was Father’s Day and this is the way he chose to spend his free afternoon. That is the story of the day from the outsiders' view.
But after the first glance, I don’t see you in the pictures, sweetheart, I see myself. I see my Daddy teaching me how to fish. I see him baiting the hook and helping me reel in the line so the fish didn’t carry me away. I see sitting on the riverbank with my sister and my dad, preferring to throw rocks and pick dandelions to fishing, but jumping for joy each time going fishing with him was mentioned. You see, my sweet child, it was never really about the fishing. I see him watching me in my grade school play, cheering me on in sports, trying to teach me right from wrong. I see him rejoicing with me in every life victory and agonizing with every defeat. Actually, I see both of my parents. Proud of me, disappointed in me, laughing with me, worried about me, but always loving me.
I first see myself as you in the photo, the innocent little girl, the sponge absorbing everything around me. But then I become him. I become the parent that wants to teach you everything, but knowing you must figure certain parts of life out for yourself. Wanting to reach out and help you with every new task, but reminding myself to stand back and allow you to make certain mistakes. I wonder who you will become and what part your Daddy and I will play in shaping your future. I certainly can’t predict where life will take you, but I know that we will love you. We will be there for your victories and your defeats. Rejoicing or agonizing, disappointed or proud, laughing or worried, we will love you. Unconditionally. Just like our parents did for us. The circle of life, my precious girl, the circle of life.

Sometimes we're so concerned about giving our children what we never had growing up, we neglect to give them what we did have growing up.
