Daddy's Girl...


...it is the most common phrase when referring to a daughter, any daughter; and it can be used in numerous ways: "Oh, I bet she's daddy's girl." "Look at daddy's little girl." "Yes, she's daddy's girl." I've heard it so many times; but not until 3 weeks ago did I learn the joy of being 'Daddy' of "Daddy's Girl."

Every day is better than the last when you're Daddy. I never realized how amazing it would feel to be Daddy of "Daddy's Girl." If you can't tell, I'm really loving this whole "Daddy thing."

Of all the wonderful people who love my little girl so dearly already, and of all the amazing people who will know her and love her in the future; I'll always be her Daddy. That will never change and is so special to me. Camden is 3 weeks old today; in 3 decades, she'll be 30 years and 3 weeks. Her age will continue to change, but one thing that won't - she'll ALWAYS be "DADDY'S GIRL!"

You need to keep this picture and post for Camden, Jay. What a beautiful piece of writing, and the picture is priceless. I can't wait to see you all at Coby's wedding.
