My One True Love


Every man and woman on earth seem to be looking or claim to have found their one true love. I am one of the luckiest people on earth because I have already found someone that no matter what they say or what they do I will always be there for them.

I spent yesterday evening cooking garlic beef tips, chipotle green beans and of course a fantastic salad. We then went out for a walked in the snow under the moon light laughing, talking about the future and  everything that was important to us and even things that were quite mundane. When we arrived back at the house we sat around and talked about the weekend and what we planned to do and then to close the evening off we drank hot vanilla (something she and I created) and talked some more..

The truth is that I love this girl who is smart, athletic, pretty and just an all around great young lady. The thing I think is sad, while I am sitting here writing this, is I realize that many people should have this same relationship but they are busy only looking towards themselves. So many men do not even realize that their own daughters look to them to see what a man should be and how a man should treat a woman. It is never to early to start teaching a child what it means to have respect for ones self and for others.

In case you have not figured it out I am talking about my daughter. I want her to know what a man should be and how a man should treat her. She will someday get married and I want that guy to be the best man he can be for her and not just some yahoo who does not understand that my daughter or ANY woman deserves his respect. To ensure that my daughter knows what to look for in the future I have to set an example today of what a real man is.

For now, Alexis is my one true love and I want to live up to the standard she should expect..... Another sappy post but this has been on my mind for several hours now. I promise to work real hard and blow something up soon.....:)

  1. Wow you exemplify what true Fatherhood is about! So many men confuse the ability to re-produce with parenthood. It is quite refreshing to come across an exeptional caring man such as yourself! I am honored to be one of your many FB friends!Airam

  3. Most girls need a dad like that. Thanks for sharing with us. Keep on cherishing that girl...she will find a good guy if she has that kind of relationship with her dad.
