Thirty four years ago, tomorrow, at exactly 12:12 p.m. I became a mother for the first time. Talk about feeling old! Christi came into this world, screaming like a banshee, with lots and lots of brown hair, weighing 8 pounds. She was beautiful from the minute I first laid eyes on her, and you would have thought she was absolutely just the prettiest baby in the whole wide world.Ha!
There were a lot of first with Christi. I turned nineteen years old the day after she was born. It was like a baby with a baby; for I had not the slightest idea what motherhood was all about. But, with the grace of God, and my mother at my side, I fumbled through the best way I knew how. Childbirth, at such a young age, leaves most with the feeling of

My daughter will be 30 years old in Oct.Like you,I was 19 when she was born and I had no clue on how to be a father.Heck,I was a kid myself and my wife was even younger.I remember being terrified at the thought of raising a child.Looking back,I can see lots of things I wish I had done different.I wish I would have cherished more of the times when my children were young,made more time available to them,took the time to enjoy more of their childhood.
That being said I remember a vow I made to myself when my children were born.I vowed that no matter how many mistakes I made in raising them,that they would never doubt that they had a father who would give them unconditional love...no matter what.Both my children never doubted that they had parents who loved them...would die for them without hesitation.
As I mentioned,there are many things I truly wish I could do over....by the time I learned to be a good father they were nearly old enough to strike out on their own...but,we must have done something right,like your Christi both of my kids turned out to be well adjusted,educated,happy people and both are now proud parents of my precious grandchildren.
Your daughter came from good stock and it is obvious she was surrounded by loving family as she grew up.You have every right to be proud of her.I wish her the happiest of birthdays!
 
and a happy birthday to the mommah also, for it was your special day for butterflies to visit to sister Suzy!
 
It really doesn't matter what we wish we could have a "do over" on, it's the end result that matters. Being loved is a gift, just as life is gift. Thanks for your post! You need to print that and let your children read it. It will mean so much for them!
