My good friend Pastor Eric tagged me to come up with these:
1. You are four of the greatest gifts I have ever been given (the fifth is your mother).
2. I also suspect that you will be the four best gifts I ever had a part in giving to the world. You make me feel very humble about everything else that I do, and have ever done; nothing else matters as much as being your father.
3. I think that you are here to bring much love, joy, laughter, and good will to the world. You do this already, and there is nothing else as important or as precious as that.
4. Being with you teaches me new things about the world, and how it can be seen and experienced. I think I've learned that this is a central part of love, for being with people you love...and who love you...changes your relationship to the world. It is very exciting, and I thank you for this!
5. More than anything, I wish your Grandpa Roger could have met you, and you him. He would have loved being your grandfather.

Kris - Your 5 Things are beautiful - the greatest 'thing' of all is love - to be loved and to love. Your daughters have been given that gift from you and Katie.
BTW, I found some poems you wrote about 10 years ago. Do you want to read them?
I agree with your thoughts. My daughters make me feel the same way.
