My dear sunshine,

Yet again, I find myself so far away from you and it's not easy. I guess I just have to resort to what I have available:

Without your precious presence, "I'm just holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes, keep my glass full until morning light, 'cuz I'm just holding on for tonight...on for tonight..."

Love always,

Your father

Hej då Gävle!

My dear sunshine,

Today, you left the city that you were born and lived all your precious life in. Exciting times are ahead of you and whether this move was right or wrong, remains to be seen in the future. I personally, have a strong belief that it is for the better. 

It is indeed, exciting times right now, very exciting!

Lots of love,

Your father

PS. You are sitting right beside me on the train as I wrote this :-)

Diamonds

My dear sunshine, 

I haven't written to you in a while so I just go:

"Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

You're beautiful like diamonds in the sky..."

Happy 6th birthday my russinbulle!

Endless love,

Your father

Trip to Vasa museum

My dear sunshine,

Today, you have gone with your friends at daycare to a one-day trip to Stockholm to visit a museum that I have never been to. This marks that:

1. Now you have done something that I haven't done.

2. This is the first time that you 'travel' such a long distance without any of your parents.

Yet another step in your growth and development, I am so happy for you and hope that you enjoy your day.

I just want you to know, no matter where you are, you know what you are to me.

Endless love,

Your father

First one

My dear sunshine,

This is  just to say that on this day, you lost your first milk tooth. Yet another sign of you entering a new phase in your precious wonderful life.

Lots of love,
Your father
