I’ve written before about dads and daughters sharing birthday, which I think is pretty cool. I think we share so many things with our daughters that every single one of them is special, really. But it’s pretty cool when you share a birthday, come on. It’s even cooler if it falls on a specific day, like New Years?
Where she got the hat, I don’t know…
So this papa and his little princess are never going to have a normal New Years party, that’s for sure. If it wasn’t already awkward having to have a cake next to the champagne or having to sing Happy Birthday after Alde Lang Syne, now you have to do it twice. And just think about getting invited to their New Year’s party. Bring a noise maker and a present, I guess. All those people kissing just on account of these two? Where does it end?
THAT! THAT IS WHERE IT STOPS!
Regardless, I think it’s special. Not only does this dad and daughter have a story that tops everyone else at the New Year’s party, outside an astronaut, but they’ll treasure that for years. Every ball drop is like a countdown to their special bond; that one thing that no one can take away from them. Sure, they may live miles apart at some time, be on other sides of the ocean, or be too old to eat that slice of cake together, but they’ll always share that moment.
Do you have a moment like that with your daughter? Maybe it’s that first walk outside when the weather is above 60 degrees? Maybe it’s that traditional eggnog while decorating a tree? Maybe it’s a daddy-daughter date (shameless plug). What is it for YOU and YOUR daughter?
Thanks for reading and thanks for being a dad…
