A Letter From A Daddy to His Daughter

Dear Cutie Pie

Little one, it is not, has never been and never will be to keep
him interested.

Little one your only task is to know deeply in your soul in that
unshakeable place that isn't rattled by rejection and loss and
ego - that you are worthy of interest. (if you can remember that
everyone else is worth of interest also, the battle of your life will
be mostly won. But that is a letter for another day

If you can trust your worth in this way, you will be attractive in
the most important sense of the word. You will attract a boy who
both capable of interest and who wants to spend this one life
investing all of his interest in you.

Little one I want to tell you about the boy who does not need to be
kept interested, because he knows you are interesting.

I don't care if he puts his elbows on the dinner table-as long as
he puts his eyes on the way your nose scrunches when you smile,
and then cannot stop looking.

I don't care if he can't play a bit of golf with me-as long as he can
play with the children you have together and revel in all the
glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you.

I don't care if he doesn't follow his wallet-as long as he follows
his heart and it always leads him back to you.

I don't care if he is strong- as long as he gives you the space to
exercise the strength that is in your heart.

I could not careless how he votes-as long as he wakes up every
morning and daily elects you to place of honour in your home and
a place of reverance of his heart.

I don't care about the colour of his skin-as long as he paints the
canvas of your lives with brushstrokes of patience, and sacrifice,
and vulnerability and tenderness.

I don't care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no
religion-as long as he was raised to value the sacred and to know
of every moment of your life with you is sacred.

In the end Little one, if you stumble across a man like that and he
and I have nothing else in common, we will have the most important
thing in common.

YOU

Because in the end, Little one,the only thing you should have to do
to keep him interested is "Just be You"

Your Eternally interested Guy

Daddy xx
