I exhale deeply before you come around the corner. The sight of you make my breath hitch, my heart skip a beat and my eyes tear up. You’re.. beautiful. My beautiful kiddo. “Baby.. you’re.. beautiful.” I whisper under my breath, all the emotions coming at me all at once.

When your mum told me that she was pregnant, I was so scared. I didn’t think I’d ever be a good dad. When you were born, I made it my mission to always be the best dad that I could be. You’ve always been the light in my life. Watching you grow up right infront of my eyes has been magical, but also sorrowful. Seeing your kid getting older, falling in love, moving out.. It’s tough to be honest. But no matter how old you are, you’ll always be my baby.

When you told me you and your partner was going to get married, I was over the moon. I know how happy you are, and I also know how wonderful it is to have someone you love and who loves you back. So here we are. I’m just about to walk you down the aisle, towards another chapter in your life.

“So beautiful, Sunflower” i whisper, my voice breaking as I walk up to you. You look so good in white, with your hair all done up. You have my eyes, and my dimples. I lean forward and gently peck your temple, careful not to mess up your makeup.
