Dad Loves Brea
To My Firstborn, My Heart, My Aubrea
Brea, you are my reason. When I first looked into your eyes the day you were born, I stopped asking what life was for — because I already knew. You were the answer. You have always been my connection to the love in this world. I know I haven't always been there for you the way I should have been, but please know this: Dad loves you more than life itself. You are everything to me.
"The moment I held you, I found my purpose."
A Little Magic, Just For You
Some Totoro love because I know how much you adore him 🌳

From My Heart To Yours
My Dearest Aubrea,
I need you to know something. When you were born — when I first held you and looked into your eyes — I stopped asking what life was for. I just knew. You were the answer. You have always been the answer.
You were my firstborn. My first love as a father. And from that moment, you became my connection to everything good in this world. You showed me what it means to love someone more than yourself.
Brea, I know I haven't always been there for you the way you deserved. I know there have been times when I wasn't the dad you needed. And I carry that with me every single day. But I need you to know — not a day goes by that I don't think about you, that I'm not proud of you, that I don't love you with everything I have.
Look at who you are: You're stoic and strong like your grandmother. You're creative and artistic — your mind sees beauty where others see nothing. You're intuitive and smart in ways that amaze me. You're a hard worker — balancing school and a job at 16! You're the baddest bunni gamer I know. And through it all, you're still loving, still kind, still YOU.
You are ready to take on anything that challenges you and makes you happy. That fire in you? That drive? Never let anyone dim that light, Brea. Not ever.
I am so proud of you. Not just for what you do, but for who you are. You are my reason, Aubrea. You always have been. You always will be.
I love you more than life itself.
Forever and always,
Dad xoxoxo 🐰
