Every Little Girl Needs a Prince Charming


I wish you could see the love affair in action. For as much as I love my own daddy, I can honestly say that our relationship was never like the one that Eric and Maggie have. Theirs is a beautiful example of what God had in mind when he gave little girls to daddies, and daddies to little girls.

Maggie was invited to a birthday sleepover party last Friday. These are her best buddies -- her ballet counterparts. But Maggie had another priority in mind. For you see, her daddy was due to come home after having been out of town all week long. She couldn't bear the thought of not spending time with him that night.

So she worked out a plan with her friends. She'd meet them at 5:30 for the swimming part of the party -- and then she'd come home. Because nothing -- no, nothing -- was more important to her than snuggling on the screened-in porch with her beloved daddy.

And you know what? That's just the way it should be. Childhood is fleeting, life is precious. And one day, way too soon, Maggie's heart will belong to a new Prince Charming, who will love her and cherish her just the way she needs to be loved and cherished.

Because her daddy has taught her what it means to be loved and cherished. And she'll never settle for anything less.

I hope my little peanut and I have this sort of relationship as she grows from newborn to womanhood.

Maybe Eric can give lessons.

I feel so sad that we don't have any girls. I know that Dave would have loved to have a girl. But, what can I do?

That's very cool.

We both wanted our little Mikayla, but as time goes on it seems as if hope is fading.

DramaMama has talked about adopting, but so far we haven't really done much toward that.

I think it is great how close your family is.

Soooo special. I love the Daddy/Daughter relationship when it's a healthy one.
I see this special bond with Adasen and Greg and I soak it up whenever I am around them.
I love to see Adasen's petite little arms draped around her Daddy's neck. The look he gets when she squeals over him melts my heart.
