but this morning date is special. emma even got a note inviting her to the special occassion (good thing she colored in the "yes" box).
daddy put on a tie, and dressed to impress. we bought special tights for emma to match her kilt, and i braided her hair because dad likes it that way. and no one else gets to go to breakfast. just the two of them.
okay, i'm getting a little choked up here just thinking about the significance of having these special daddy-daughter dates.
these daddy-daughter dates play such an important role in a girl's life, because dad is the primary male role model she will always look and compare to. when men come calling (i hope not for a LONG time...maybe when she's 30), emma will know exactly how she should be treated because of the way her daddy treated her.
it is such a beautiful thing.

Wiping away the tears (I know. I'm ridiculously emotional). Her future husband will have a lot to live up to when being compared to her wonderful daddy. Believe it or not, Layla's favorite daddy dates are to the grocery store- she always gets a cookie and likes to help with the shopping.
aaawww that's so sweet!
How special (it made me tear up a little too!!) You are right, Prasti, those dates are such special times. I still remember daddy daughter dates I had. Lasting memories.
That is beautiful, sweet, and so true! I think KLint and the girls should start this too, it is so important!
Prasti, this is so precious! I'm so glad that they have such a great relationship and that it will continue for the rest of her life!
I just came back to read this again. Too sweet, tears again.
daddy daughter dates are so very special. some of my most favorite memories...
Getting choked up just reading about it. How very sweet...
Hmm, in grade school at JIS you were OK with a dad/daughter dance but you sure didn't want to have anything to do with a father/daughter day in high school. You didn't think it was cool. ~Mom~
