I have the biggest urge to hang out with daddy. I called him today and planned a long weekend in the tropics. Mother is traveling and will not be able to join us.
He’s seventy one, and healthy but I know the day will come. I’m quite certain that it will be one of the saddest days of my life.
I am daddy’s little girl. We are going to play chess. Daddy taught me to see the world through new lenses playing chess. He taught me to think fast and stretch my imagination. That the answers I’m looking for are often right before my eyes. He proves this to me time and time again. I never see checkmate until he calls it. That's because he says I'm looking but I'm not seeing.
It’s quite possible that I learned to love men the way I do because of him. That I learned to love because of him. It’s not hard to love when someone’s heart is left wide open for you to walk in and take a seat. He understood me long before anyone else ever did. Where mother was confused most of the time and didn‘t know what to do with me, he had clarity and a smile.
He tells me often that I amused him beyond measure.
I’m taking the boys. He wants to spend more time with them. And when I told him that I have a man I’m planning to keep, he laughed.
“I don‘t believe it,” he said. “I must meet this man.”
I have no doubt that he and Kenny will get along.
I'm not sure what daddy suspects about my private life, but from the volume of men he's had to chase away over the years, I'm sure he suspects something. "Honey," he asked me one day, "What kind of spell do you put on these men?"
I flashed him the most innocent look, "I don't know daddy,"
I didn't figure it out until many years later.
“Kitten,” he said on the phone. “You sound different. You sound…calm. Are you happy, Baby girl?”
“Yes, daddy. I am,”

When u feel good about urself, and u're happy with the special person in your life and generally with everything, there is a calmness and a glow that exudes from deep within. Enjoy!

Somehow I'm not surprised you're a daddy's girl.
It comes through..hmmm..
I love this - "It’s not hard to love when someone’s heart is left wide open for you to walk in and take a seat"
Magnifique.
Cant wait for daddy's take on Kenny..that should make for an entertaining read.
I can just see it now; the swapping of Kitten stories..lol..
