This is a great story. I know that I am only going to be the main man in my daughters life for a short time. I can only hope that the one that takes my place does an even better job than I did before he got there.

Lovely story and sounds like a great life time memory. I’m blessed with twin boys and my wife is convinced our next child should be a girl. She usually stands over my shoulder and reads blogs along with me. If she sees this post I’m done for.

Great post.

I have enjoyed reading your posts for a short while now and this has great meaning for me, as my daughter prepares to graduate high school and venture off to college.

My role as “main man” has changed over the last 17 years of her life, and I treasure every second I am with her.

That was a very sweet story. I have two sons, and while they provide lots of warm, fuzzy parent/child moments too, I do sometimes wish I had a little girl.
Not enough to actually have another kid, but still, it would have been nice. And would have given my wife some much-needed relief from the toilet-based humor my sons so enjoy.

Very sweet post. By the way, a sentence does not a paragraph make.

I thought this was so sweet and it actually got me teary-eyed! You will always be your daughter’s main man no matter how old either one of you get. I am going to be 50 this year and my dad turns 90 and I am still daddy’s little girl (or so my husband keeps telling me!)

Sounds like the evil spawn isn’t so evil after all. You might have to find a new nickname for the child… or not.

Aren’t girls great, they totally start messing with your head even before they actually know they are doing it. And I have two… eeek! (A good friend has three girls… he shaves his head to hide the fact that he no longer grows hair…)

I’m not sure what this says about me, but I have always thought the chronology of your posts and the subject stream make perfect sense. (I only minored in English and that was really focused on British literature… blimey!)

Great post once again maestro.
