Our church hosts a wonderful annual event for fathers and their daughters. For 12 years little girls eagerly await this night and their special date with daddy. The 800 available tickets sell out very quickly. Unfortunately, Julia has never been able to attend. For the past two years she has had surgeries in February, related to her cancer treatments. This year, it was finally her turn. (Take that cancer! Another win in the JuJu column.) These normal milestones become infinitely more meaningful to us.
Julia has been anticipating this night for many weeks, admiring the tickets hanging on the wall and talking about her date with Daddy. Finally the day arrived and she anxiously started getting ready. her hair has grown so much. When it's wet and the curls are brushed out it is halfway down her back already!
She was wearing her favorite dress with the black polka dots. As she
likes to say, "I love this dress because it makes me look like a cow." She eagerly awaited the arrival of her date...
Daddy came to the door with a corsage and tulips for his little princess...
She loved her new jewelry to match her dress...
Daddy and his little girl...
They started off with dinner at an Italian restaurant. Julia loved her meal and was so happy to have Daddy all to herself.
Then it was off to the dance downtown. The ice sculpture was a big hit...
Julia had fun at the dance but was rather shy. After a few dances with Daddy and her friends, they headed out for ice cream before it was off to bed.
Julia is so blessed to have a daddy who loves her so much and makes her feel like a princess everyday. he will always be her first sweetheart!
