Daughter Dates

You know you're not single anymore....when once a week you take your 14 year old daughter on a mini-date at Starbucks. You spend an hour catching up with the social interactions of her world, her friends, her music, her dreams. You remind her that when she starts dating at age ummm 30, the guy must meet your standards for her and he will be reminded that we do have guns in the household....She laughs, but in reality you do think about how you would do anything to protect her heart. You pray that you can model through your relationship with your wife how she should expect her future husband to treat her. In the end you realize that one of the greatest blessings of your new life is the relationship you are building with your daughter.
