The Game’s little girl is enjoying a big birthday.

On Monday, the rapper, 43, penned a pair of emotional Instagram posts as he celebrated daughter California “Cali” Dream turning 13.

“I’m late on posting this am because every time I’ve thought of you this morning my eyes swelled up with tears. If I could have one wish… it would be to go back in the past & relive all of the moments we’ve shared together just to hold the little you a lot tighter,” he began his first caption.

Looking back at how fast the time passed and sharing some memories of his little girl, the rapper wrote, “Where is my 3-year-old word for word Beyoncé song singing daughter who would get mad when anyone would interrupt her ?? If she’s somewhere in there still, please tell her I miss her dearly & all the time we spent together. I know I can’t go back so all I have is the memories.. & what beautiful ones we made.”

Noting he had to pause for more tears, he continued, “I want you to know that there is nothing on the earth I love more than you California Dream. You are my lifeline & my every waking day is another chance to be an even greater father to you than the day before. My only daughter, my heart & of course my soul. My best friend & absolute ‘twin,’ I adore you.”
