Random Observation/Comment #600: Daddy-daughter songs are sometimes creepy, but I totally get it.
Being a parent really changes everything. My daily routine is completely different. My priorities have definitely shifted. Plus, my life philosophies and musings tend to be less about checking off a list and more about building a foundation.
I sing these words every night:
Someday we’ll all be gone,
but lullabies go on and on
They never die,
that’s how you and I will be.

There are scenarios I play in my head where my daughter finds this blogpost and swells with pride and respect. Maybe she’ll do a book report on it or it’ll inspire her to start her own way of thinking… I’m hoping to leave a trail of breadcrumbs.
I guess everything I do is to solidify that one moment. And hopefully this seed will grow into a tree for another generation.
