Thank you Carol for this poem. I can’t write about daddy except factual stuff and it is so meaningful when you and Joan do — it’s amazing to realize the power and impact of one life. We are so incredibly blessed that both mother and daddy were such incredible, loving, generous and unique persons. Each of them continues to have such dramatic and deeply felt impact; few people can match that. My overwhelming reaction after reading your poem was to pray that my own unique gifts would somehow be used in a similar way to enrich the lives of those who need my unconditional love, too, and not be used up by selfish and petty concerns.

Carol, what a beautiful tribute to your wonderful daddy. You are right, you never stop being daddy’s little girl. I was a daddy’s girl too and I miss my daddy to this day. I loved your daddy too and am so thankful that, I too, felt his love of family. I always looked forward to a bear hug from him. We both were very fortunate to have had such wonderful fathers!

Thanks, Carol, for being brave and sharing. I’m glad you mentioned unconditional love. There were times in my life that I was absolutely driven crazy by my Daddy, (& I’m sure I reciprocated! ) but I never, never, never, doubted that he would give his life for mine (or any of my siblings) without hesitating.

Actually the tears are in both eyes - plural - not just one…. LOL!

Thanks, Joanie. I get tears in my eye every time I read it, too. Guess we never stop being Daddy’s little girls.

Thank you for sharing, Carol. I am posting this comment in tears remembering the security of childhood,regretting love left unexpressed, thanking God for the blessing of good parents.
