My Dearest Daughter Nikki,
I want to shout across this wonderful Mother Earth of ours, Happy and Merry Birthday Nikki!
It really doesn't seem possible that my first born is a thirty one year old grown ass Woman, living over yonder and way over there. So far and far away. Oh, my dear baby.
What's a proud father to say?
I love you more than I can begin to express.
I am proud of you as my beautiful daughter and so very proud of you being the Woman you are. Your work ethic is above reproach. You take teaching our Sister's English over in Arabia seriously. Sometimes, so too very seriously. You know that I know you know, this is outstanding!
Yes, I would have liked to celebrate your special day here at home, but I do understand your plan. Maybe when you come home for Winter break we can celebrate then. Oui? Oui!
My daughter, not a day goes by that I don't think about you. It is every day you live in my Daddy's Heart and your words of strength and determination encourage me to stand by you. I do. I pray for you daily and nightly. There are three pictures of you and your sister in my safe place, so even though you may not be here state side, I see you every day.
Your Mom and I were Blessed that day in Fort Lauderdale, Florida when you were born. A day and an event in my life I shall never ever forget. My teeny tiny little baby in my one hand.
Happy Birthday Nikki! Hope you have tremendous fun and celebration!
I will always love you daughter, your Dad aka Fahadja aka Pa. XOXOXOXOXOXO
