We could all use a little more of that these days… Am I right?
My 4 year old daughter was the inspiration for this post.
She was born on a Friday…
I’ve got to say, I know that I’m lucky. I’ve felt unconditional love before. I have three wonderful sons! But my dad always told me that there was something special about a father holding his little girl in his arms for the first time, and when I had a daughter of my own that I’d understand. He said something in you changes, much like the feeling you get when you become a parent for the first time, but also – something more. Like the responsibility meter was turned on before, but now its just gone through the roof! I’ll admit, it made me feel jealous. My sister was dad’s favorite, his “lil’ girl!” I would justify it by telling myself that I was my mom’s favorite, although she would always say that she didn’t have favorites, and was blessed to have us both.
