When Daddy Comes Home |

Yea! Daddy's home for the rest of the day and night. Can we go outside while there's still sunlight? And daddy lets go down the street for a little walk; When we get to that tree we'll stop for a talk. Can you tell me a secret about clouds and rain? And what makes it fly, that thing called a plane? Hey! What is that music? That jingley sound? Can I have ice cream when the truck comes around? I got new rocks for my collection, one white - one red. Can I sleep with these tonight when I go to bed? Here's a flower for mom. Here's one for you too. Look, I can do a summersault! How about you? Here kitty-kitty. Can I have a cat? When I get older I want one just like that! I'll race you back to the house. I won! I won! I sure do like running fast. Wasn't that fun? You know what daddy? You know what I think? I love you a lot. I think you're great! Thanks for the walk little one. I love you too. How I do enjoy coming home to a daughter like you. |

You sure expressed the joy of being a parent so well. We relive our childhood through our children..that's the secret to never growing old. ~~nice writing~~ A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |

Without our children where would we be? Alone without love and never free. Kids are a wonderful gift from God. They make us see things so differently. LITL, Heather With God all things are possible. |

Well it seems there is a whole new slew of you to which I must say "Thank You"... and greatfully I do so. I really did look over the majority of my work and truly felt this one was one of the very select few worthy of representing the best of PIP. I guess we will see. And again, to those of you who have felt the same... my thanks. Peace! |

You've painted such a sweet and tender portrait of a beautiful father/daughter journey. Brings Norman Rockwell visions to my mind ... absolutely lovely! Best wishes, /Kit |
