Happy Birthday Gigi
There is nothing better than having your daughter sit beside you on the couch, or walk into your office just to give you a hug, or just smile at you because you've said something silly. When you get that daily you hope it will never end.
Gigi can't read this now and I hope I someday remember to tell her. The other day I was at the airport picking up my family. I carry my camera everywhere. I planned to get a few shots of them coming down the long hallway to the waiting area. I've taken photographs for over 25 years. News, sports, family, amatuer, professional...it doesn't matter. The camera goes up and I snap.
Except the camera doesn't come up when your daughter spots you an 100 feet away and yells "Dada! Dada!" Instead your heart skips and your finger just tightens on the release. When she runs toward you yelling "Dada, Dada, Dada" the airport notices, but you forget to snap her picture. When her tiny-legged top speed finally carries her to your arms you forget you have a camera.
Je t'aime and Joyeux Anniversaire my beautiful, sweet, smart, kind girl.
