This weekend, your Mum and I went to our friends' wedding. It was a beautiful day, and we were so proud of you. Everybody thought you were amazing. Which you are. You inspired them all to want to have babies of their own. I didn't tell them that there's no way their babies could ever be as excellent as you. Sadly, I spent a little too long drinking in the sun, so I'm slightly jaded today.
Also this weekend, we watched two films which made me feel very sentimental. I hope that one day you'll read this and, if you do, I hope you'll forgive me for being a bit tired and emotional.
Both of the films we watched were based on books, which I also hope that one day you'll read. But for now, I'll tell you a bit about them and why they made me think about you. The first one was called The Road. It's a very sad story, but it's also very beautiful, because it's all about how much a daddy will do to look after his child, even when everything else has gone really wrong. Making sure you're ok will always be my number one priority.
The second film was called Where the Wild Things Are. It's all about a child who's a bit naughty sometimes, but really he's just frustrated because he's got a better imagination than anybody else. In the end, his own imagination helps him see that the people he loves, love him too. If I hadn't read this book, and watched this film, I might never have realised something very important: I must always encourage you to use your imagination (as long as I don't think you'll get hurt) because that's the best way to have fun. Sometimes grown ups forget how important having fun is, but I promise I'll try not to. You can hold me to that.
Love from Daddy.
