Sweetpea amazes me.

My (almost) 15-year-old daughter just sent her old man the most amazing text message:

"I just wanted to tell you that I am overwhelmed by the blessing God gave me through you.  You're the dad every girl dreams of having (if they don't have one almost as good).  I can't imagine life without you, and if I try, I feel like I could cry for a year straight.  Or more.  I was telling Mommy yesterday that I want to marry someone just like you.  You are my hero, my role model, comfort, protector, source of wisdom, and one of my best friends.  The list goes way on.  I just love you."

Yes, my friends (snif, snif) — these are the things dreams are made of!  Praise God from whom all blessings flow... to Him alone be the glory for the things He has done!
