Well, today is my bday too... so let's celebrate together.
I agree with BeardedLady when she said a daughter always needs her dad. There was a time where I wanted to be away from both parents (in my very early 20's) but then they moved 2000 miles away and surely I did follow them a year or two later. I have a great relationship with my dad now, I look up to him and respect him, and I still need him.
ALSO, in response to your: "What do I have to look forward to?" type questions... You have BOTH daughters getting married (eventually) both daughters having your grandbabies... I'll tell you what, I never saw tears in my dad's eyes til he held my daughter. He was even in the room with us when I had her. 2:04am, and he was there. He didn't want to "see it" hahaha but he was off to the side and I heard him "that was a good push ___" (my nickname-which I'm not tellin') To just hear him in there meant so much. You have all those things and more - many more. Remember how you felt on your wedding day, and you already said it was happy - you get to be there to walk your daughters down that ilse. I am so glad my dad was able to.
Hope this brings some light to your seemingly gloominess right now. Hang in there.
I sometimes feel the same way at only 31. I'm married, two kids, just bought a house 2 months ago, housewife... what else is there... and then I remember those things I mentioned before.
Let's keep on hangin' on, Okay?
