My wife and I have been happily married since 2002. She's an amazing woman and grows more beautiful every day. She just celebrated her 33rd birthday and we had a wonderful time with family and friends watching the Super Bowl.
After the party we sat and reminisced over the past few years we've spent together, and I made the offhanded comment that "I kiss at least four girls every day." She laughed at me and clarified "you get mauled by three girls every day," referring to our three daughters who suffer from dad obsession. I don't have a problem with this, they are all three adorable and shower me with hugs and kisses and snuggles.
Being a dad is fantastic and I love how my children wants nothing more than to spend time with me. We snuggle and laugh, play games, and eat snacks. They look forward to going to church with us, and get very excited for our Monday night family home evening. There's almost nothing I love more than a "family movie night" where we throw down a bunch of blankets and pillows eat our dinner in front of a movie together.
They are all still young, our oldest is eight, but they are growing too fast in my opinion and I struggle to keep up with the proper way to be a parent. Each of them has different needs, and as a dad I worry about being the best example I can. I worry about the seeds I am planting now that will grow in their teenage years and it don't what. I want them to be better than I am, better than my wife is, and more than anything else to be part of her eternal family forever.
It's not easy, but I figure one of the best ways to help ensure they develop properly is to give them lots and lots of affection, so I kiss four girls every day, (and one boy,) and hopefully that will make all the difference!
