My heart is filled with so much joy and love when I see your smiling face every morning as you wake up.

Every time this happens, I think this is exactly how every living being should wake up every morning. 

In these many years of my life, I never imagined I would do this, but I am creating this website (daughters.day) just for you. I want to add all my feelings and all the photos/videos I have of you, here but I know better. Howmuchever I may wish, the fact is that the world is not a safe place. 

Nevertheless, I will keep this site up for a few days before I take it down, or remove the content.

You are just 5 months old now, and I am already feeling that you are growing up too fast. I cant forget the day I held you in my palm, with your head resting over my wrist. Tiny as a squirrel. And now you have begin to fill my arms. And I can imagine you will soon be fillig up my lap. 

When you are alseep, I mostly want to wake you up, becaue you look so adorable in your sleep that I want to play with you. But let me also agree that at times when you are awake and are crying incessently, it becomes overwhelming for me to handle you on my own. Thats when I reach out to your mom for help, and I wish you to sleep peacefully. 

So many emotions flush my head every now and then when I see you - At times I begin to imagine that you are a grown up kid, happily going to school, or that you are further grown up and about to get married. Then I laugh on my own imagination, and simultaneously wish for you to grow up a lil slow.. While I am excited to see you in your upcoming phases of life, I dont wish to compromise upon spending more and more time in your current phase :) The dilema would never end I guess.

Anyways, dear, on this first ever daughters day for you, I wish you a very happy, peaceful, long, and fulfilling life :)

I love you dear :)

Hello again, dear!

Its daughter's day again! Happy daughter's day to my pearl!

Its been a year since I visited this site. So I read my last message to you, and realize every bit in it is still true. You fill up my world and thoughts every now and then. Right now you are at your grandma's place, and yet I am engulfed in your thoughts. (Listening to 'You fill up my senses' as I write this).

Baby, if you read my mails chronologically, you would know the pigeon story. It happened today. It was a bittersweet incident, but it changed me. I did something I could never do before in my life. In the scheme of this world, it's a tiny incident, but for me it is likely gonna change me forever. You made me overcome my fears, you made me stronger, and you gave me reason to fight my inner self to become a better person. While the story was casual, the one line that rests with me is - I could do a tough (may be impossible for me) task, when I thought of you. You gave me, and became my strength.

But you know what, you change me in both ways and in both directions. I can also remember an incident from a few years ago where I did something which I would probably not do now. So in a way, you also make me timid. You also make me more cowardly and less daring. It's not a bad thing however, and most of the world would agree (especially your mom). It's just a new way to look at things. Daring is not always the best attitude. The story I am referring to here took place in Seattle, near a water stream. That's a story for another time, but I feel you have brought about changes that only you could bring about. 

All I have to say today is that with you in my life, I am growing stronger in many ways. And I am starting to respect life more, and see things differently. Understand people in ways I never did before. All because of you.

I wish you to continue to give me strength (and scares) for the rest of my life. I will also have your back, and try to be your strength every second I breathe. 

Love you a lot, my baby!

You are the most powerful force in my life!

Have a wonderful, fun filled, and adventurous life, dear!

Love, dad!
