Daddy's Little Girl

Earlier this week my Aunt Suzi (Dad's sister) tagged me in a couple pictures on facebook. As soon as I saw this picture I started to cry.... and laugh out loud a little bit. But seriously, this picture makes my heart melt. By every definition, I am a "Daddy's Little Girl". I remember when I was little (or... little-er) my Dad would always say to me, "Erin, promise me you'll never grow up". I'd INSIST that I was never going to grow up and I'd always be his little girl :) My Dad is my everything and I'm so grateful for the close relationship that I have with him. He was a single father for a while and sacrificed so much to provide a good life for my younger brother and I. We never went without and he always did his best to be a good Dad. I look at this picture and can't help but smile. He is such an amazing person and I feel honored to be his daughter. I love when I go back east to visit family. Everytime I'm there I get an overwhelming amount of comments about how much I look like him and that I'm my fathers daughter. I couldn't be more proud, I love sharing his smile and personality traits... okay maybe not all personality traits but I've been blessed with a lot from him :) He is my hero and I will always be his biggest fan. We have such a special bond that no one could come close to or break. It gets me so excited to have a child of my own, a son, a "mama's little boy". I can't wait to have the opportunity to look Liam in the eyes and say, "Promise me you'll never grow up". :)
