Naomi has asked this every night for about three years.
Sweetheart, I never miss and I never forget. This is the highlight of my day. It's the sacrament for parenting. It's the time when all is right with the world again. When there are no struggles and no interruptions. It's where I stand over you and marvel that you are mine. Regret the hurtful things I may have done through the day. Determine that tomorrow will be better. Adore your beautiful faces. And cherish your miraculous spirits. In these few moments I pray that you will remain steadfast and that you will find happiness. I beg the heavens that Grandma Barbara was right when she said that children are resilient. And I thank God for letting me have a chance with you.
Good Night.

Sweetheart,
I want to move these lines into poetic form and put them in my anthology. "I cherish your miraculous spirit" also! "And I thank God for letting me have a chance with you."
