you are not going to be able to keep up with her in the long term. what she needs is a rock . a shoulder to cry on and to give her a kiss on her forehead saying I'm proud of you . She will remember the little things like playing ball with Dad . Be there just be there and all will work out .
Ripples are good they go on and on . and you really don't see them until they reach the shore
My worry is that my body won't make it until a point where she will be able to remember me kicking a ball with her =)
