My daughter, Christina, has taught me many things. First of all, everyday is precious. Never take tomorrow for granted. Although, I am a procrastinator.

Second, I am a dad and that is also a job to do and be proud of. In my case it has become a career. Everything I do has a reason behind it that relates to Christina. Realizing this has been good for me. It also means that if I take time to take a break for myself, that it too can benefit her. Making sure I can function well is helpful for both of us.

I have been told many compliments and they are nice to hear. But, really, I am just a dad. I have put that first. For me, family has come before work. And, before play. I have the desire to make sure Christina can do as much as possible.
