Not very often do I have really vivid dreams but this one I don't think I'll ever forget. I got to talk to my 10 year old daughter, Emma. If you don't know, my wife Megan loves the name Emma Faye. As much as I think it sounds like a little girl from Dixie, I do like Emma by itself.
I've been doubting my ability to be a father in light of my lack of experience in being around children longer than a few hours at most. Heck, I get tired of our dog's antics but at least I can send her to her cage. I feel hopelessly inadequate to handle the daily frustrations of being a parent.
In my dream this beautiful girl told me I was a good dad and she wouldn't want anyone else to be her dad. Whether or not we have a girl named Emma, that dream helped my anxiety subside just a little bit.
Oh and you made your mom throw up on her birthday. Thanks for that kiddo. Still, I love you.
For those interested, here's Megan's birthday present [not pictured: flowers, card, & ice cream]:
