9 years, 2 months.

Dear Holly,

My office is my bedroom. Most of the day, the door is shut and it’s actually pretty rare that I come out; even for food.

But when I do, I love it when I see you out on the living room floor playing with your dolls.

You easily spend hours at a time in your own little world; carefully feeding them, entertaining them, and helping them fall asleep to take their naps.

This is what I want to see from my 9 year-old little girl when I step out of my office.

It’s just perfect.

Love,

Daddy
