“Follow Me, Daddy!”

He watched her climbing up the tree with a little concern for her safety. She wasn’t just the love of his life, but also the BabyGirl of his dreams. And because of him, she so bravely pursued each challenge in life as it presented itself to her.

Because of this, she often took risks, knowing that sometimes she would succeed and sometimes she would not. But regardless, she knew he would always be there to catch her fall. He was her Daddy. She trusted him with her heart and her life.

She brought him home this weekend to meet her parents and shortly after they got back from Sunday church and had lunch, she told her parents she was going for a walk in the woods with him.

What she wanted to show him was the secret tree she often climbed up into when she was young. It was in this tree that her world of make-believe came alive.

“Follow me, Daddy!” she called down to him.

He smiled at the littleness her heart truly felt.

“I’m right behind ya, BabyGirl,” he said as he joined her climb.
