A daddy and his daughter

There are few bonds as special as this. 

Seeing a grown man melt each time he gazes at his newborn daughter; his arms enveloping her tiny body while he rocks her to sleep. 

Catching them in the living room dancing the two-step while Zac Brown Band plays through the speakers. 

Kowing all that he will teach her about unconditional love, self-acceptance and living life to the fullest. 

Picturing them laughing together at his silly voices and made-up song lyrics as she gets older. 

Trusting that he is the only other person on this earth who loves her the way that I do. He'd do everything in his power to move mountains for her, protect her from harm and support her wildest dreams. 

 Expecting her to look at him in awe; the same way I have for the last 11 years.

Witnessing this relationship flourish brings joy to my heart and tears to my eyes.

There are few bonds as special as a daddy and his daughter.
