Dear Kelly,
Thank you for taking our daughter to the Daddy Daughter Ball for the past five years!
Thank you for being the daddy that goes out of your comfort zone to bless our daughter.
Thank you for every time that she mentioned how excited she was to go to the Daddy Daughter Ball that you told her that you were excited too.
Thank you for counting down the weeks…then days…and even hours for your special time together.
Thank you for always buying her a corsage and making her feel like a princess.
Thank you for letting her pick out your tie.
Thank you for telling her how beautiful she is.
Thank you for dancing and twirling her.
Thank you for making a fool out of yourself to make her smile.
Thank you for doing something completely for Madolyn.
Thank you for being the kind of father that makes our daughter look at you like this……
Thank you for being even more incredible than I could have dreamed for our daughter.
She is loved.
She is treasured.
She is adored for who she is and not what she does.
Her heart is safe in your love….and she knows it!

OK, I am going to cry now…
Oh how beautiful she looks. You can tell she absolutely loves her daddy. How special she must feel and she will remember this the rest of her life.
Even when she is picking her husband (way down the road), she will use this as a tool to pick that right one. One that always makes her feel loved and special.
I need to go get a tissue now.
this brought tears to my eyes!
What an amazing gift your husband has given your daughter. She will undoubtably pick the right man for her husband, she has an incredible model!
awesome post… xoxo

as I read this I was charmed, by the end I had tears. Tears reflecting how wonderful the world would be if all fathers were like this, and mothers too. Thank you for this lovely post.
Oh, Jeanne, this is so sweet. Adam does Daughter Dates too, and I always think of how this will stick with her–how she will know what it means to be treated well and respected.
It makes me so happy. This is the sweetest thing ever. Good man you got there!
She’s so pretty! Beautiful dress.. What a terrific dad.
I have a Madelyn who’s 20 months old. Hope she can go to a ball with her daddy one day.
so sweet! You got some wonderful photos of your lil’ laday too! 😉
I hoped we would have a baby girl because I knew my hubby would be a wonderful daddy to a little girl, but we’ve got 2 boys for now.
I dropped by from Farmgirl Paints and I’m so glad I did! It’s been so encouraging browsing around!!
I’m hosting a love story linky party this week (fri. feb 12) drop on by and link up a one of your favorite stories – maybe how you and your honey met, how he proposed, or just something sweet that melts your heart – looks like you’ve got a winner of a man there, I’m sure you’ve got plenty of stories to choose from! There will be a give-a-way up for grabs for fun too.
Cheers!
Oh, wow, amazing. Just simply so very touching and special. 🙂
Smiles,
Teresa

How I wish we all could have Daddys like that, she is a lucky little beauty girl and you are a smart women. Looking forward to meeting you soon. Linda/Luluz
Oh Jeanne! Your beautiful thank you to your hubby gave me chills!!!
So precious!
Now that post made me cry! What an amazing man you are married to and what a special daddy. Your daughter is the spittin image of you!!! She is beautiful. I love all of the pictures. All I can say is priceless-priceless-priceless!!!!!!!!!

she is adorable. just so sweet and happy. your husband is amazing. there is nothing like a man who can make his daughter(s)feel like a princess. what special memories for all of you.
blessings,
aimee
Inspiring post, Jeanne! She is so lovely.
It is so important for our girls to feel valued for who they are as God created them. I try to instill that everyday.
Looks like I could get some pointers from the Colorado School of Parenting.
🙂
Hope you’re having a GREAT week!
(I wish you could have gone to Artfest–I would’ve sold it CHEAP to you 😉 )

That is beautiful, thank you for sharing.
ohh, that made me feel like crying. Tears of joy for you and your daughter, but tears of sadness for my own daughters. I thought I married the man of my dreams many years ago, who I thought would be the father I dreamed of too. that is all I ever wanted for my girls, cherish every bit of it, becuase they don’t all have this. I just pray my girls will find husbands who are daddy’s like that.
I just happened on to your sweet blog looking for something else. Your entry about the Father – Daughter Dance was so precious. I wished all Dads could realize that a Dad is the first man a little girl falls in love with.
Thanks for sharing.

Such a beautiful tribute to your husband…these are memories that your daughter will have always.
TOTALLY crying!!! This is absolutely beautiful!!!!!
I know that I am chiming in really late on this one Jeanne but this post brought tears to my eyes ~ what a wonderful date and you know I looked that way at my Dad too.
