Every Little Girl Needs a Daddy

Inevitably, daddy is a gift for each and every girl in her life. Besides mom (they are always an angel that takes care of you), daddy is the other blessing in disguise for all of us.  As a daughter to a very loving father, I would admit I have been exceptionally gifted. The relationship I share with dad is something extraordinary. When we both team up in the house, we end up behaving like good old buddies. He is nothing sort of an authoritarian. Indeed he never believes in being one. Acha is one helluva cool dad I would describe!

Just like everyone keep reiterating, “Every little girl needs a daddy”, it is spot on! Till today, even after 27 years, I am still his baby (dad told this to mom clandestinely). My heart was touched and soon realized that parents love knew no boundaries at this moment. In spite of having a tough time bringing up a very mischievous, and rebellious girl, dad has not given up and his love on us never diminished all these years.

Looking at little girls whom never had the love of a dad and how they yearn for the fatherly figure in their lives, opened up my eyes to feel the void they’re going through. I’ve been taken aback as I watch the longing in their eyes for daddy affection. It makes an incredible difference having a father. It reflects in our perception, frame of mind and self-confidence. His words determine the outcome of our potential and strength. Acha has always been a mentor, friend and also a well-wisher to me. He has been with me through my ups and downs, and bittersweet moments. I had been given the paramount attention like a princess. Sometimes his over protectiveness has been a setback for me to be independent. I would never blame him for anything coz he simply want to give us the best and by all means guard us from danger. His encouraging word literally boosts my confidence to dream and take risks.

Everyone whom knows me closely would articulate me as an exact copy of dad.  Most people say I am a lot like him physically and mentally. We both have the same mannerism and other attributes such as independent, bold, compassionate, loving, cheerful and forthright. On the other hand, how can I not talk about the other side of us? Adamant, loud and hot tempered are not something that is morally wrong but it defines us as unique. Dad affirms ability and set the path for a young woman like me, to believe “I don’t have to prove myself. I can do anything.” He influenced me to be a woman of pride. It is because of him that I am the person I am today.

 

It’s amazing how my Vig has become the mirror to acha. The truth is that so much of both of them are reflected in the way they see me, the way they interacts with me, and the way they pampers me. Vig, you’re someone who will take me to greater heights and unconditional affection and pampering which will spoil me to the brim! Ahax!  I am looking forward for a jolly, spoilt brat lifestyle soon.

Fathers are very important role models for their daughters. Dad, no one replaces the unique spot you hold in your daughter’s heart.  Every little girl and every big girl wants her daddy’s love. Acha, you will always hold the special place in my heart and someone I look up to you all the time! I am grateful to be blessed with you.

Flashback: I will never forget whenever we sit around him in circle after our dinner hours and hear him talking about us and he nurtured us made me understand his true love on his daughters. From the moment, he held us in his arms for the first time until the day he will walked down the aisle to give away his girls to the man of their dreams, his life revolves about his little girls. He lived for us and he will continue doing so. He is a man full of love, unconditional love which knows no boundaries. The most beautiful moments we shared will be the best of my life.

More than anything, he is forever the kind of daddy every little girl will yearn for.
