At the Core of Innocence: Part Two of Two – Enter the Daddy

Innocence isn’t so much about pretending. It’s about being. A little not only wants to be innocent but she wants to be seen as innocent and treated in the specific like of the moment.

And a Daddy instinctively protects that innocence. The Chivalry of his soul demands it … as well it should.

Enter the Daddy …

Maybe the best way to encompass what a Daddy is and what it means to be a Daddy is to make a simple pros and cons list. Or perhaps better yet, simply accept a few thoughts:

A Daddy isn’t perfect and he isn’t a mind reader.

But The Core of Innocence doesn’t focus on what a Daddy can’t do. The simple fact is that everyone has things they can’t do. A Daddy is no different, in that regard, than anyone else.

It’s about the things he does which others don’t do.

A Daddy touches places in her heart that have never been touched before, and creates a depth of connection she has never reached before with anyone. And he does this by addressing a side of a BabyGirl which needs to be handled with care. It is this attention to her care which really tells her what she needs to know about who he is and who he will become with time and with their experiences in life.

The Definition of ALTRUISM is an unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of others.

This isn’t to say that a Daddy is unselfish. It’s to say that he pursues her comfort and her well-being passionately.

And this pursuit gives him pride. He will hold her in his arms and perhaps no words will be spoken, but if she holds him in her heart and if she longs for the kind of love he possesses and offers, she will hear the message loud and clear.

In his eyes, in his touch, in his actions, in his sentiments and in his arms, her heart will hear him saying:

“BabyGirl, Daddy ain’t gonna let nothin’ hurt you. And Daddy will keep you right here, where you are secure in being insecure, where you are safe to be vulnerable and where you are free to be who you are.”

A Daddy loves and protects all that he can for her, not the least of which being the core of innocence within her soul.
