Lakshmi thought her father was the greatest man. She adored him to bits. The father-daughter bond was created as soon as she was born. From the time she was young, she was struck by his aura. He was the wittiest and greatest father, she thought.
Did you know that it is hard for an adult to come to a child’s level and interact with them? Well, he could do just that… just by magic, he could become a small child and entertain her for hours.
He taught her how to bicycle and how did all the work of running behind her when she was learning to balance on the wheels. He stood by her in all her difficult times. He would attend all the PTMs at school with sincerity. If her grades ever slipped, he never reprimanded her for not getting good grades. Instead, he always taught her how to approach the same problem in a different way.
School admissions, college admissions, college projects – he would be there to see her through it all!Â
 He always taught her life’s most important lessons. As she grew up, he taught her how to dress up well, be smart, study smart, and to be a totally “out-of-the-box” thinker. He always wanted her to be “smart” and “independent”!!
He was a terrific orator. He could keep her and all her friends spellbound with his talks and witty anecdotes. 
Are you nodding your head and thinking the same thing(or similar things) about your father too? 🙂
No wonder there is a saying “No one can love a girl as much as her father”!! Fathers are great – whether they are fathers of daughters or sons -aren’t they? 🙂
What is your father story? Â
Happy Fathers Day to all wonderful fathers!! 🙂
Wonferful! Father is a daughter’s first love her super hero without capes ?
Yes! 🙂
Coincidentally we both wrote about fathers. I agree with every word here. A daughter is always hers Daddy’s princess first.
Yes, Sonia – great minds think alike! 🙂
My 12-year-old daughter means everything in this world to me, Jayanthi. I am so protective of her that during her violin lessons when the violin teacher gets slightly impatient with her when she makes mistakes I feel like throwing him the teacher out of the house. But my wife is a teacher herself and she always takes the trouble to explain to me that it is a part of the learning process and I need to be patient with the teacher and give him enough room to deal with our daughter. Just like daughters love their fathers the reverse is also true and all fathers have a special place in their hearts for their daughters.
True, Jai – fathers and daughters have a really, really special bond! 🙂
You have brought out the emotions so beautifully. I had always complained to my father that he loves my sister more than me. 😀 😀

Thank you, Manas.. I think fathers have a soft spot for daughters! 😉
As someone who is a proud Daddy’s Girl, I found myself nodding my head all through your post. Beautifully written!
Thanks Mayuri! 🙂
