My husband and our daughter.
She lights up when she sees him. He lights up when he sees her, too.
She wants to marry him when she grows up. She won’t be persuaded otherwise.
They look forward to their special Daddy/Daughter days. Spending time together. Just the two of them.
He is her hero.
He protects her. He delights in her as she matures and grows up before our very eyes.
Because he loves her, he disciplines her.
He dreams big dreams for her.
He protects her from things she’s not ready for yet.
He tells her she’s beautiful and he means it more than anything.
And I love witnessing all that love between them.
Because now that I’ve seen
the love of a father for his daughter up close,
I understand so much more the love of my Heavenly Father
for His daughter.
Me.
