Valentine’s Day is traditionally a time when we recognize our loved ones, especially our spouses or significant others. Having three ladies in the house, I know I have to be on top of my game with Valentine’s Day (speaking of which….did I get cards yet?)
Last night, I had the opportunity to take my oldest daughter, Rhyan to “The Father-Daughter Ball” at her school. I took this as a chance to treat her to a great meal and give her my undivided attention.
We ate at Fina for dinner. It’s a great local Italian restaurant that is a new favorite of Jen and I (so I had to get her permission to take Rhy). We had a nice three course meal before going to the ball.
The ball was great. Well done. As I left, it made me realize how important parents are, but especially dads for their daughters. As a father, whether you are active or not in her life, you set the tone for what your daughter will look for and expect in men as she grows older.
I am thankful for my Dad, Grandpa, Pop and Uncle Clayton for demonstrating how to raise daughters and be great role models for them. Happy Valentine’s Day to you all, celebrate your loved ones this weekend and tell them how much you love and appreciate them.
Be You, Be Real & Be Easy
