That is the date today. In less than 24 hours the most beautiful woman I will ever meet will be 4 years old. My precious daughter.

I've spent the first 3 years of her life working here and there, doing just enough to get by. Now on the eve of her fourth birthday I lie on an air mattress, in a friend's apartment, completely flat broke. Today I take a vow.

As of this exact moment, I have bought her a new coat, a few shirts and pants, and a child's camera. I want to give her sooo much more. This little girl is my world and I would do anything, go anywhere, be anything, to be able to keep the beautiful smile on her face.

So what am I going to do? Where am I going to go? What am I going to be? To be quite honest; I am going to do all that I can to take me to the top where I will be a success. Easily said, not as easily done.

I am steel in my resolve though. Nothing or no one will stop me from making her happy. Especially not me or my fear.

As much as I fear failure at this moment, my fear of breaking her heart is a billion times stronger.
