But then God threw us this curve ball.......her name is Kearyn Jaedance and she has these big greenish-brown eyes and these eyelashes - most importantly.....she isn't afraid to use them - boy does she use them. She uses them on her brothers - then she turns this secret power onto her daddy and he caves like a big pile of mush. She tries to use them on me but my super-mom powers (that and the fact that I am a girl too) totally deflect the puppy dog-eye/fluttering eyelash lethal combo.
There is no doubt that this daddy loves his girl. But the true question is how much does he love his girl? There are no words...... but maybe a picture or two will give you an idea.
This daddy loves his girl so much that he will eat cake with no hands.
What is a little frosting on the face after all.
What is a little frosting on the face after all.
This daddy loves his girl so much that he will even wear a bow in honor of his baby girl at her 1st birthday party. Now that is true love.
God bless all of the daddy's in the world who sit cross legged and
have afternoon tea parties with their little girls.
God bless the daddy's who patiently brush the tangles from their little girl's hair
and try their best to put pigtails in - even if they aren't quite even.
God bless the daddy's who painfully enter their little girl's closets
even though all the ruffles and bows can be quite intimidating.
God bless all of the daddy's who try their best to pick out "matching outfits" -
after all, all shades of pink go together, right?
God bless the daddy's who teach their little girls to dance by allowing them to stand on their big daddy feet -
not at all minding the scuff marks left by her favorite pair of princess shoes
because he knows that someday he will be dreaming of the day
that she was small enough to leave those scuff marks.
God bless the daddy's who don't mind going to jail for a very long time in order to protect his little girl. This commitment is only enhanced in the teen years and especially strong during events such as Homecoming and Prom.
God bless the daddy who unselfishly walks his little girl down the aisle and
"gives her away" to the man she loves.
