Ok all you dads with young daughters, it's time to pull out a big box of Kleenex...
Behold, a time cometh when you shall walk her down the aisle one day...and it's coming a lot faster than you can imagine.
I sat down to my desk one day to find this red paper heart on the keyboard. It's from my twenty year-old daughter who had no prospects at the time. She was frustrated (I was frustrated, and her mama was frustrated), yet she remained content to wait it out until the right guy came along.
Inside was a tiny key from her necklace. Two and a half years later, just after her 23rd birthday, I was finally able to pass it along. I had an engraved key ring made for her husband and gave the key to him when I did a special father's blessing at their wedding.
I was blessed to be the "key holder", yet even more blessed to hold a young woman's heart while she waited for her husband. Since then, she and her husband have blessed us with three rambunctious little boys ages 5, 4 and 3...with a little GIRL arriving early April.
I'll kindly re-direct your attention to the tagline on my avatar.
