I Loved Her First

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it's still hard to give her away
I loved her first

--Heartland, chorus from "I Loved Her First"

D was singing this the other day and it made us both kind of sad. I know, she's not even six months and we're already thinking about her leaving us! I guess it's just a good reminder to cherish every day.
