I am a dad. God saw fit to bless me to be one to my daughter. I fail miserably at times, and if our time together continues in years ahead I am sure struggles will continue. Words will be said on both sides, hurt will exist, tears will fall, but love will forever be. I will be daddy no matter what.
On our hunt she and I sat aloft comfortably in blind. I had forgotten my phone, so there were no texts, no pictures or video, but during those few hours of beautiful fleeting golden light, she and I shared words and exchanges that are even more precious to mention. I told her about her ancestry, she asked me questions about various topics that have already crept into her innocence and I did my best to answer them with the limited wisdom that I have. I told her stories of my past, my life before momma, and some funny stories. We laughed in whispered hushes. Pauses in the conversation would occasionally take place, but even in that silence the air still spoke each as precious as those uttered.
I won't talk about the specifics of the actual deer and harvest, but once the shot was taken, she said "daddy feel my heart, its beating so fast!" Her heart, which was the first thing I heard before I even saw her face, thumped so hard and rapidly within her chest with eyes excitedly wide.
As we knelt over the deer she looked at me and said, "daddy do you know where else I would want to be right now?" I crinkled my forehead and raised an eye brow. She said "no where". Me neither baby.... me neither
