All About Daddy

Dear Gabriel,

You want to be just like daddy.

Whatever he says, you repeat. Whatever he does, you want to do. Wherever he is, you want to be. Whenever he comes home, it is all about him.

You will eat what he eats. Dress how he dresses. Talks how he talks - And all of this is a great thing because your dad is such an amazing example for you. If you treat the woman you marry half as good as your dad treats me, she will be one happy woman.

I was telling your dad just the other day, "I doesn't matter what I ask him to do or say when you are around, he will just listen to you." He laughed and then said, "Yeah - but when he is a famous ball player the first thing he will think about and say when he looks at the camera will be 'Hi Mom!'".

I just have to remember that when there are days, like today, that it is all about daddy.

I love you,

Your Mom
