Daddy/Daughter Stuff

I made an impulse purchase on Amazon the other day for Josh.  It's a book for dads about raising girls called Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters.  Josh started reading it this weekend and has been overcome a little by more than one emotion.  I am so thankful it has turned out to be an intelligently written and helpful book and one that is interesting enough for him to want to keep reading.  Also, I love observing the affection and protection grow for my daughter from her daddy. Oh, steal my heart. What little girl doesn't deserve a hero?  I melt watching Josh become Anna's. Likewise, I melt watching Josh adore/get protective of our baby girl.

Yesterday Josh said the book was getting him worked up.  How so, I asked.  He answered it's making him pretty angry at our society as a whole and that he's pretty sure that by the time the kids can work the TV by themselves that we need to quit cable altogether.  Yikes. (Probably would be for the best, but still.)

And then tonight, Josh emailed me from a dinner meeting he is about to do.  He said, "Waiting outside restaurant, reading my book, a little choked up..."

Oh, steal my heart.
And make sure to mark that page so I can read it, too!
