May I introduce to you ~ Princess Lydia and Prince Tommy……..clap.. clap.. clap……

There I was with my beautiful little princess in a formal purple dress 
at the Daddy Daughter Enchanted Evening Dance and I couldn’t believe 
my eyes. My little girl was 9 and all grown up. 

Not your typical gathering to be sure, fifty some odd dads sitting in full 
dress with their beloved daughters at a formal supper gathered around one 
central theme: Honoring our Daddy Daughter relationship. Wow, what a great 
idea.

After the typical trips to the heavy h’orderves line to chow on the chicken 
and drink the punch, it was off to the dance floor, where chicken dance, electric 
slide, shagging and the waltz awaited us.

It was a blast! But one thing sticks in my mind more than anything else. As I was 
twirling my little girl around the dance floor, she came in tight with a hug, 
looked into my eyes and said… “It’s times like this that I 
realize how much I really love you, dad.” It was great ~

Sign me up for next year. 

PS// If you have not taken time to take your daughter or son out on a date “one on one” 
to do something special just for them, do it! You won’t regret it.

						Joy and Peace ~ Rev. Thomas B. Wilkes III
