“Forever Plus A Day”

The relationship between a Father and Daughter is one to be held dear and cherished. From the moment I laid eyes on my daughter, Ella, my entire life changed. Twenty-two years old. A Father. I was scared. I was not ready. Years later, I understand why I was scared. I understand that I was NEVER ready. I also understand I must do anything and everything to ensure her life is magical and right out of the storybook she reads nightly.

From the walks to the ice cream store to the trips we go on together, there is never a moment we are not laughing, smiling, burping, farting, and yelling at each other before day’s end. We don’t always see eye to eye (I know, she’s only seven), but we always end our nights reading, talking, and saying a quick prayer for Grandpa. Most importantly, we end our nights with a few words to symbolize the endless love we have for one another.

Joe: Love you Ella Marie.

Ella: Love you too, Dad.

Together: Forever plus a day.

Hope you enjoy our journey together !
