To my beautiful daughter on her wedding day,
I sit here writing this letter to you on this day to tell you how much I love you and how proud I am of you. You have grown into the woman I always knew you’d become, intelligent, beautiful and strong. From when you were a little girl I watched you triumph, fall and persevere over any obstacle that came your way. You’ve taught me so much about myself, showed me the meaning of unconditional love, that I don’t want to give you up as you enter into this chapter of your life.
I love you so much and wish for you nothing but the best. I hope your future husband knows he is about to receive my greatest jewel and gives you all the love and support you deserve.
May you have nothing but endless love and happiness for the rest of your life.
All my love,
Daddy
Don set down the pen and looked down at the words he had written. He placed the letter next to the Tiffany’s box, a wedding gift for his daughter.
Today, his princess was getting married. He still found it hard to believe that twenty-seven years had passed since she was born.
Don had watched her grow from a sweet baby, to a terrible toddler and then to a charming girl. Before he knew it, she had become a strong willed teenager and then a woman. Now today, she was embarking on a journey, one that hopefully would give her only joy.
Looking down at his hands, he saw the sun glinting off of his own wedding band, recalling the day he first slipped it on.
Despite the joyful occasion, Don couldn’t help think today was the day he lost his little girl.
