I sat here this morning drinking my coffee and listening to that red cardinal tapping on my window watching the morning TV shows. On the Today show they were doing a piece on the special bond between a father and her daughter. There is something so magical and solid about that bond. A girl's first source of expectations. She looks at this man and expects to be cared for and protected. Expects to be provided for and admired. From day one he shapes quite a great deal about her. Little does she know he will be the standard she holds to all that shapes her future. Especially in a man. So, fathers if you hope she only falls for men of high stock and quality you better strive to be nothing but the best in your life for her. I know mine did and my honey definitely measures up to that standard. If I ever thought differently, I was wrong and I see that in how our daughter looks at him in the same way I looked at mine. He is doing good and in fact more than good. It's beautiful to watch. I have my own special bonds of a mother that nothing can replace but I felt this was noteworthy and something I will never experience on my own. So, it may not be Father's Day but I applaud all those good daddies to their precious little daughters. Even those grown. I will always be a daddy's girl and I know Sissy Rose will be the same. That bond is solid and so very important.
To this little girl you will always be a hero, always be a healer, and always be that one she can count on to just get that bear hug when the world seems mean and unstable. We love daddies!
