Great story David! You are a great father and Emma is going to be a fine woman because of it. They grow up so fast my daughter is 39 and lives across the country in Seattle.  She is going through treatments and recovery from breast cancer. It breaks my heart I can't be there. Enjoy every minute you can with her.

Very cool memories, though it made me think of the days ahead for me.  I have 4 daughters - the oldest is 14 and youngest is 5.  I still cannot believe I have a 14 year old in the house. 

Cherish every day, even in the frustration - have to remember they are a gift (some days I have to remind myself of that more than others :) 

Have fun celebrating with her!

Oh David, been there.  My two girls are just getting into their thirties. 

The time keeps on flying.  Why it seems like just yesterday that it took me 3 or 4 doubles just to walk one of 'em down the aisle ! ! !

Muebe, fight as hard as you can.  I was able to maintain primary custody of my girls, it made all of the difference in the world, not only to me, but more importantly to them.
