"Daddy's Girl" is a real thing. I know. I'm one and my redheads are ones as well. :)
There is a special relationship between a Daddy and his little girl (who, btw, will ALWAYS be little in his eyes and heart - just ask my Daddy! I'm 37 but I'm his little girl). I think the relationship is unexplainable. A little girl brings out emotions and behaviors in a Daddy that I think takes most Daddy's by surprise! All of a sudden shotguns are considered, memories of being a teenager are forgotten, and mistakes made as a teen boy serve as projections for how to parent her. Admittedly some Dad's handle being a Dad way better than others.
My hub, Lanny, is a fantastic Daddy. He waited a long time to have a family and his personality is well-suited to girls rather than boys. He would agree with me btw. :) Anyone who knows Lanny knows how much he loves his little girls. True, his little girls are 13 and 11 but not to him. I have to remind him pretty often that they aren't toddlers anymore. He only pouts a little bit when I remind him. :) It's fun to watch him with his girls. And the adoration? Oh it's totally mutual. Our redheaded wonders love their Daddy and I think partly because he's done a great job of being their Dad and not their friend. (The whole "be their friend not their parent" thing? Yeah. That doesn't work.)
My Daddy (yes, I still call him that - back off) is amazing. Not only is he amazing with me, his little girl but he is also amazing as a Grandpa (we call him Papa). The redheads love their Papa and have spent LOTS of time with him as well as Gma. My Daddy and I are a lot alike in looks and personality and so we get along rather well. :) While my Dad is quiet in a lot of his expressions of love he always makes sure that I know he's for me. A while back he sent me a card in the mail (we live 14 miles apart mind you!) just to let me know that he was for me as I walked through this hard valley I've been in (which I'm basically emerged from for anyone wondering!). Daddy (and my Mom - who I call Madre, Mommy, Mom, Ma) are great about letting me know that they are for me. And I don't mind telling people that I am a Daddy's girl 'cause I am and I'm proud of it! :)
(Oh and a shout out thanks to Misty Huss who shot this song my way!)
