Holy Daddy's Girl

Harper, there isn't another little girl on the planet that is more in love with her Papa than you. No one can get your whole being to light up like he can.

When Papa gets home from work, he spends the two hours until it's time for you to snuggle in for night-nights just holding you, talking to you, laughing with you, carrying you around - you are his world and all else falls away.

You, like a true Scorpio (and your mama), have this quiet, enveloping, intense, deep gaze. You will look deep into Papa's eyes and just hold his gaze for minutes at a time. You shock us with how long you can go without blinking when you are focused on reading the soul behind someone's eyes. Your favorite subject is Papa. You are most as ease when you're locked eyes with him, or in his arms. You are most comforted in mine.

You know, you are a very special gift to your daddy. For as long as he can remember, his dreams were only to be a husband and father. His first try at that went very badly, and he lost his first two children. Even when he had them, he was prevented from bonding with them they way he wanted to. With you, he has full access, and all the respect in the world. Because of the brokenness he experienced with his first two children, he absolutely pours that much more of himself into his love for you, and there is magic between you two. He is very natural at being a daddy, and you are his very special child that was given to him by God to love and cherish every day of your life.

Words can't describe the blessing that you are to him, and the blessing that you have in him. It moves him to tears often; you could not be more loved than you are.

Fathers like the one you have are one in a million, baby girl.
