Addiction isn't so bad

I love my daughter.

Anyone who was spent even a fraction of time around me could deduce that fact in milliseconds.

But I am afraid I may be addicted to my daughter.

She is a little older than 17 months old, which is about 570 days. I have been with her all 550 days. The longest I have gone away from her has been about 12 hours. The furthest I have been away from her has been 50 miles (Amy and I went with a group of friends to some wineries in Oregon while we had a babysitter).

I don't know if that is a good thing.

Shouldn't I have some time away? Shouldn't my daughter have some time away? Is really healthy to do ANYTHING every day for a year-and-a-half? Doctors say you should even take a day off from exercising at least once a week and nutritionists suggest dieters have one "cheat" day.

I love the time I spend with her don't want to be away from her, but is that best for all parties involved?

I guess I should just be happy she is happy to be with me right now, because I know she will grow older and all of that will change. There will come a time when spending time with daddy will not be cool. There will come a time when her friends are more important than her daddy. There will come a time when the last person she would want to see will be her daddy.

So for now I need to make the most of every day and every minute I have with Reese, because I will go through withdrawals when it comes to an end. And hopefully that is many, many, MANY years from today.
