Because Her Father Loved Her

I didn't have time to do a post this 

past weekend 

and I wanted  to make sure

and give a tribute to my hubby,

the wonderful father to

our daughters.

These special words were on a

card he received from 
our daughter yesterday 

and it describes Him so well.

Because her father 
listened to her,

she knew she had something to say.

Because he believed in her,

she believed in herself.

Because he said
she could do anything,

she did.

Dad,

So much

of the good stuff in my life

started with you.

Thank you.

Well, as you might well imagine,

I found him all choked up and teary eyed

right after he read those words that 

honored him so.

When our daughters were 4 years old

he began taking each one
of them out

to breakfast every other Saturday, 

on what became known

and looked forward to

as the Daddy/Daughter Dates.

We have two daughters, so 

they each went on a special date

with him once a month.

Our daughters are now 28 and 30 years

old and they still talk about these

special times they spent

with their dad.

I would have given anything as a young

girl to have had a father
that would have wanted to spend
  time with me,
  so my hubby blessed me too when he
poured 
into our daughters this way.

Honey, thank you for being You and

for honoring your girls the way

that you have.  Thank you 

for making a 

difference in generations

to come because of

knowing the value of spending 

time, listening and believing in

those you LOVE 

and who love YOU more than

you will ever know.
