My darling Kenzie Lou is ten. As clichéd as it may sound, I have no idea where the time has gone – I remember her birth as if it were just last week.
But at the same time, thinking back over the past ten years, Kenzie has already lived a very full life, and she’s been gracious enough to let us share it with her.
Love posted on her blog, and captured the essence if K so well. But more than what Love said about Kenzie, as I was reading the posting, I realized how much Kenzie simply takes my breath away. Not just because she’s genuinely beautiful. Not just because of the blessing that we have in her being part of our lives.
She shortens my breath because I see in her the embodiment of what Amy, God and I have between us. When Kenz was just being to move around on her own, and as she came into that very interactive stage of babyhood, Ames and I used to say that watching her was like watching your heart running around. Ten years on, my heart still squeezes a little when I see her. My spirit lifts a little when she smiles. And I know I’m home when she silently snuggles in for a back tickle.
Oh, and at times she so much like me in character that it’s scary.
K Lou, loving you is an adventure. You have helped, in ways you don’t yet know, shape me into the dad, husband and guy I am.
I love you Princess. Happy Birthday.
