Help me find my little girl!

It's been awhile since the day I can't find my little girl anymore. I just need someone to talk to here at Squidoo or maybe somebody can help me find my little girl.... (Wait a minute, who's the fat guy?)

It all started one fine morning of September 28, 1996. There she was all frail and helpless, in my arms, a tear ran down my cheek as I was holding her and I said to myself, "This is the best gift that God had ever given to me" and I sighed a very satisfying sigh. As I look into her closed eyes, turned my eyes to my wife then, back again at her, I could almost see the resemblance between these two ladies that I love most and will always will.

Things got pretty well for all of us with our little girl amidst our very own world. Every bit of our time are devoted to this very beautiful bundle of joy- chinky eyes, red lips and skin as white as snow. Well, I guess you can say she's like Snow White as what the above description says but for us, she's the most beautiful thing that ever happened to us. We have our own world....

But why is it that everytime I come home from work, I missed my little girl? That's when I realized that that little bundle of joy is nowhere to be found, I look everywhere for her and I keep asking my wife especially when we are having our joyful moments together, "Where is my little girl? Can somebody help me find my little girl?" And all she do is smile at me with twinkle in her eyes....and she just keeps on doing something- ironing the clothes while watching TV and me, burying my head between the piles of notebooks, school paper, pencils, ballpens, crayons, paste, cut out pictures, erasers and other sorts of school stuff....

Well, it's almost 12 years since the 28th of September of 1996 when my little girl was born and here I am, on a Saturday, at around 7 in the morning, sitting on the chair next to our window overlooking at a playground where lots of little boys and little girls play, looking at them, wondering, wondering, wondering "Oh where, where could my little girl have gone? I missed that little bundle of joy and I missed carrying her in my arms":....and suddenly....

...suddenly, the sun shone bright in my face and I turned around and see my little girl's bedroom door opened wide and there she was, standing in the door, smiling at me, all 12 years old and growing up and she's even taller than me! She's smiling at me and gave me a warm and loving "Good Morning, Pa!" and she walked to me drowsily and I took her in my arms and made her to sit on my lap. She looked at me and said, "A penny for your thoughts, Pop... What's on your mind?"

I looked at her and said, "I just missed my little girl, the one that I used to carry in my arms, the one that I used to play for hours while she giggles over a simple rattle of her toy, the one that gave us more than one more reason to live. I missed that little girl. Oh, where could she be?" ...and I smiled.

She smiled back and said, "Pa, no matter what happens and even though I'll be 18, 6 years from now and beyond that, I will always be that little girl you always love..."

"And I love you with all my heart, little girl..."

So, ladies and gentlemen, I guess I won't be asking help from you anymore 'coz I really have my little girl after all and she's right. No matter what happens, she will always be my LITTLE GIRL!!! And now, I've got a little boy tailing behind and that's another story that I also want to tell....Thanks for the time and I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!!!! Take care

Everything came by so fast and before I knew it, my little girl has graduated from the 6th Grade and she is ready to go to High School! Everybody was excited and of course, I was the most excited of all! It was a very tiring day but it was worth it! It's really such a nice feeling to be a proud parent!
