I read a book once called Why a Daughter Needs a Dad, and cried tears of joy and longing as I thought of my husband and his precious daughter who would soon be born.
Then I got to thinking, why a daughter needs a dad? Why every dad needs a daughter is more like it.
Every dad needs a daughter to remind him to treat his wife with love, honor and respect, to teach her what to expect from a man.
Every dad needs a daughter to remind him he is a hero, her hero.
Every dad needs a daughter to love him for who he is, including his silly belly farts on her tummy.
Every dad needs a daughter to teach him patience, even when it means plugging a paci 300 times in twenty minutes into her rosy lips.
Every dad needs a daughter to encourage him to work hard every day for her.
Every dad needs a daughter to keep him gentle.
Every dad needs a daughter to keep him on his toes.
Every dad needs a daughter to keep him in shape.
Every dad needs a daughter to keep him cleaning his guns.
Every dad needs a daughter to hold on to.
Every dad needs a daughter to snuggle.
Every dad needs a daughter to keep him on his knees, praying for her life, her future, and who she will become.
And not every daddy gets that daughter, but I know Jonathan is the most blessed father because he has his little girl Blyn, and I really thank God for that.
