Full Name: Chris Cane

Who do you want the poem written for?: Amy Michelle Cane

Why do you want the poem written ?: Her wedding day - September 20th 2003

Key Messages: My unending love and appreciation for her hard work and accomplishments. My continuing support for her and now her groom (Brian)
My lifelong commitment of me to her mother and vice versa and how important it is that she and Brian make the same commitment.

Memorable Moments: Amy has always been an over achiever and highly goal oriented. Losing is something that's not in her vocabulary.

Goto www.minipug.com and read "Amy's first recital", and "Dad loses the battle" and "Clearing the table" and " Amy and the Toilet Seat" and "The Snail Story" and "Amy all you can eat" and perhaps the toughest one of all "Amy goes to college"

Other Comments: Amy was born July 19th 1975. She's been "living in sin" for about 3-4 years with Brian, I call him my son-out-law (all in jest). Her mom and I think the world of Brian and we know she's made a great choice.

Style: The mood must be upbeat and happy, this will be her wedding day!

Package Type: Deluxe

ED: Chris sent me a lot more information than this. The title and theme came from here . We took out a heap of verses about Amy's childhood as Chris decided he wanted to talk about those after the poem. FYI.

Letter To My Daughter

Letter to my daughter, I know we've heard these words before. In fact, it's been a few times now, I'm having trouble keeping score. But nevertheless, time waits for no man, there are days when important things need to be said and I can't help having a feeling of trepidation, actually it's a feeling that's a lot closer to dread. You see, a father looks forward to this day, but it's a moment he fears with all his heart. It's the day he says "goodbye" to his little girl, it's the day when we grow a little further apart. But having said all that and I certainly don't want you to pity me, because my heart is filled with pride and gladness and a finer daughter there'll never, ever be. You and I have grown up together you've certainly helped to turn this boy into a man, I'll admit to having great ambitions for fatherhood, but not everything always went exactly to plan. But like I said before, time waits for no man and I do have a few important things to say and there's never ever been a better occasion, than on my beloved daughter's wedding day. Be assured, in Brian, you've made a very fine choice and I know you'll be very happy together, just remember to be committed to each other and you'll have a love that'll last forever and ever. Because I know, I'm committed to your Mum and she is, to me, committed right back, that's how we've remained together and that's why, we've always stayed right on track. Secondly, my love for you, Amy, is unending, it's like the edge of the Universe, but beyond, I'm so very proud of all your accomplishments and your determination is your magic wand. Because you've always been an over achiever and have always worked to an impossible, but possible, goal, just know that you are very much a part of who I am, you are a part of my head, my heart, my very soul. And I'm glad Brian's finally asked for your hand, sadly, I'll no longer have a son-out-of-law, but I genuinely think the world of you both and that's probably what these words are for. Because, this is my letter to my daughter and now I have so much left to say, and Amy, if I was going to mark your scorecard with a letter, it would have to be with a capital "A".
