Dancing with Daddy
Dear Daddy,
Thank you for how safe I am in your arms. Thank you that all I have to do is hold onto your hands and put my little girl feet on top of your big Daddy feet and you walk me around wherever you go. :) It super fun and all I have to do is hold on for the ride!
Thank you for that picture you gave me last night when I got home about what this part of life will be like. You said it would be a slower, easier dance than I learned in Phoenix. The dance you taught me there had lots of fun jumping parts and it was super fast paced with lots of new and unexpected moves. That was such a fun dance! I would have liked to learn it a little bit better before we moved on to this one, but I know You'll teach me anything I missed later. Now it's time to learn the slow, flowing dance. The one that's free and easy and makes you sigh whenever you watch it. I'm so excited for you to teach me this one!
Even though You've only taught me the first two or three steps of this dance, I love it already! Maybe even better than the fast, exciting one. This one seems much easier to maintain. We could dance it longer. Maybe that's why the last one came and went so very fast. You knew I didn't have the energy to maintain it for much longer. And it's harder to enjoy a dance like that because it's almost like you're trying to keep up with all the excitement of it. But this dance will be longer I'm sure. :) I can already feel the slow rhythm starting up and it's easy and beautiful and light. Like a bird gliding on the wind or a wave coming up on the sand.
Yes, I like this dance a whole lot better I think.
Thank you for never rushing me. Even when you were teaching me the faster dance, you never forced me to take another step. And you only started teaching it to me when I asked you to. That's so kind of you. Even though I know you were dying to teach it to me (it's one of your favorites I'm sure) you waited until just the right time to start. You waited until all was ready in my heart to receive and understand each part. Each step.
You're such a good Daddy. And You're mine.
Please help me to focus on you and on the dance you're teaching me. Because the waves around us, the storm we're dancing in (and on), does look kind of scary out of the corners of my eyes. But it never looks too bad when it's only in my peripherals. And sometimes when I'm looking you in the eyes and my heart is filling with your love for me and my love for you, I don't even notice the storm at all. I even forget for a second that we're dancing on water.
But really it's only you're feet that are touching the water. Mine are safe and sound on top of yours. :)
I love you Daddy,
You're little Daughter
P.S. Thanks for teaching me to dance!
