This one is a NOTE from Kevin Karim that he had written on December 28-12 for his daughter NESSI's 4th birthday.
I was unable to read it untill today... every line kept on braking my heart. TODAY I finally was able to read the entire thing.
WHAT A GREAT NOTE: WOW!!! Yes I cried when I heard the song at the memorial.
Daughter
From Kevin Krim--
I want to wish our daughter Nessie a huge happy birthday. She turns four today. Marina and I couldn't be more proud of her -- she is very smart, beautiful and tough. And she's grown so much over the past two months. She s...aves us every day.
I first heard the song, "Daughter," performed by Loudon Wainwright III, in 2007 around Lulu's first birthday. It grabbed me right away. I dreamed, sentimentally, it'd be the song Lulu and I danced to at her wedding. It only became more important to me when we had our second daughter, Nessie.
I chose this song to open the Memorial Service for Lulu and Leo. Dan Bogart, the kids' music teacher from the "Music for Aardvarks" program in NYC, accompanied by Katy Pfaffl and Laura Bontrager, did an incredible rendition. Please watch the accompanying video of their performance.
I love this line in particular: "Everything she wants, I see she gets."
When I first held Lulu, swaddled up like a little burrito, in the delivery room and her huge eyes looked into mine, I fell so deeply in love with her. It was like nothing I'd ever felt. I joked out loud that she'd already got me to agree to a new car on her 16th birthday. Silently, I had promised her I'd do anything for her.
I believe the Lulu & Leo Fund is something she wants. I believe Lulu and Leo are very happy to be inspiring and teaching people.
