Children - A Wonderful Gift

My 3 Girls - This was the last time I was ever able to take all three of them to get their pictures done together professionally. It was four months later when my kiddo went to heaven. I appreciate each and every day I had with her and each and everyday that I have yet to come with my other children.

I wanted to express my gratitude for what I have been given in life. Through the hard times, there has always been good. Even when things go down, the only way to go is back up again. My children are a gift that I will always appreciate. I love them unconditionally. They are a beautiful gift that I have been given and I am forever grateful for that. They mean more to me than anything and I would do anything for them. They are my life and the sunshine of everyday for me. I feel so sorry for those that cannot have children and I pray everyday for them that they might experience the joys of having a child. For those that have children of their own, make the most of each and everyday. They are so innocent and beautiful. Thanks for your support everyone. Wanted to share with you what makes my life happy.

My two sisters have children of their own but for me, I had decided that I did not want any. I do not hate them but I thought of them as being noisy, troublesome, and a distraction. You are a father so maybe you can help me understand this gift?

Well, each person is different. Some people do not want to have children and this isn't wrong. It is each persons own choice. For me children are a gift because they love you no matter what. They are in need of protection and love and the innocence that they have is captivating.

Wow. LOL. Sounds like fun. I have heard from many people that the teenage years are definitely something. I'm a little nervous but at the same time, excited to see what the future holds. Good luck to you and thanks for sharing!
