Today I want to thank the dads of daughters.
To those who take time to know what second position is in ballet,
whose praise leads to confidence in every effort his little girl makes in her journey to womanhood,
who is thrilled to know his little girl could someday and everyday be anything she wants to be,
who holds his little girl in high respect and finds her as wonderful as the sons in the world,
who sees wonder in tenderness, intuition and spirituality and knows that both sexes should hold these dear,
who has such a fondest for and closeness with his daughter that he bestows upon her precious nicknames,
who literally shines with pride when taking his daughter to his workplace and introducing her to his buddies,
who not only sees the outward beauty of his daughter but cherishes her inward spirit,
who can find as much pleasure watching a football game with his daughter as he would with a son,
who feels honored to know his daughter is daddy's little girl.
