To My 3 Daughters
When your mother and I got married, we dreamed of having children someday. I can honestly admit for myself that none of those dreams involved having three daughters! I'm definitely in over my head with bows, princesses, excessive amounts of pink, and SOOO much talking. But God has blessed me with you, and I wouldn't change it for all the boys in the world. I'm concerned though, for your hearts as your grow up in an increasingly difficult world. I'm not an old man, though you make me feel it sometimes. But the world I grew up in is not the world we live in now. And I can't even imagine what the world will be like as you continue to grow and mature into womanhood. Who knows what the results of the 2016 election will bring, or what the world of even our own state will look like in a few years. It's hard to prepare you for a world that seems so uncertain. Should I be teaching your survival skills? Or another language? Should I be learning these things?
