Mommy's asleep now and we don't wanna wake her up alrite?
She's had a long day; let's be good and let her rest for now.

There, that's a good girl! =)

Heard you call "Ma" for the first time today! Well done baby! You saw your Ma's smile? You made her so happy! I'm so proud of you!

Sleep now baby. Your sheets are dry and your cot is warm. Rest well and play again tomorrow. There's a whole world for you to explore and learn; take your time and enjoy the ride!

I'm sorry I can't be there when you attend school. Or be there to congratulate you when you graduate. I'm sorry...I can't be there to walk you down the aisle...

Please don't be angry with me. I really wished I could do all these with you, for you... But know that Daddy's will be watching you, every step, all the way.

Sleep tight baby, Daddy's got to go now. HE's calling me to join him. Don't be angry with HIM; HE's got HIS plans, and HIS reasons for things. You'll understand one day, won't you?

Be good. Be whatever you desire to be, but be good. Daddy's really got to go now. Good bye...
