Daddy's Little Girl

By -

As I'm sitting here I'm thinking back on my childhood and what being a "Daddy's Little Girl" meant to me. I can remember these great big arms held out in front of me ready to take me in and protect me. I remember that when I got into those arms it was time to fly. Yes, fly! He would swing me around in the air so high and fast, I can hear my Mom saying "be careful not to drop her". Those were the days. Now it's my little girls turn to experience the joy and love of what being a Daddy's little girl can bring.
My husband didn't grow up with his Dad (unfortunate for his Dad) but has some how come to understand the important role of being a Dad.
I love to watch him play with his children. To see their little faces lit up with excitement and anticipation of what he's going to do next. Daddy being silly is the best. I love the way he looks at them and the way they look back. I watch and know that his eyes are saying so much because no father can look into the eyes of his daughter without feeling a sense of pride that awakens protective instincts deep within him. I know because my Dad would look at me the same way.

    I love this post. My Dad is coming here to IL for Father's Day and I too am and always was a Daddy's Girl. He is traveling here from Bay Minette, AL to do some fishing at our lakehouse. His birthday and Father's Day are like a week apart so I am planning a HUGE celebration. His health is deteriorating and I am looking forward to some time with him.

    Oooops, I wanted to tell you something. In a lot of ways you and my daughter-in-law look a bit alike. I think she is probably a bit heavier than you but the facial resemblance is very similar.

    I will have to post a photo of her for you to see sometimes. She is quite lovely and so are you!

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
