The Daddy Hands

Strength is an amazing word with more meaning and relevance in situations than most other words.

Strength is physical, but it’s also emotional.
It appears with power but also with passion.
It completes tasks but is only part of the winning recipe.
And like everything else, it’s only half of something that it’s perfect for.

A Daddy’s hands have strength. And yes, it is a physical strength. His hands show firmness – in purpose and in action. But they also show gentleness in those same regards. Power can be a tricky thing to handle which may seem a bit strange to think about that way. With power, one has control. But with control, there needs to be responsibility.

And that is the strength that comes from within the soul.

A Daddy’s hands often initiate hugs, embracing his BabyGirl and enveloping her with a physical sense of safety that equals the emotional one she not only craves but needs, to thrive from and to live off of. It is within her Daddy’s embrace that she finds where she belongs. And being a creature of touch, it is the strength of his gentleness that she feels more deeply than anything else.

In her Daddy’s hands, she can feel the power he possesses. But she can also feel the control he keeps over his strength. And it is because of this control that she is able to submit to him, to become dependent upon him to protect her from the vulnerability that encompasses her life.

A Daddy’s hands are gentle when wiping bottoms as well as tears. These are tender places for a BabyGirl – whether having been marinated with emotions are with a wetness that has gone cold. And the only thing that would make her cry harder or pee more would be if gentleness didn’t couple with kindness to address both the cause and the result.

These are times when she is both physically vulnerable as well as emotionally. And it is then that she needs her Daddy to be strong for her … with the control he possesses in his hands.

A Daddy’s hands will bathe her, powder her, diaper her – all of these with more gentleness than he has ever known or used before. This is the strength of purpose – when he learns from her. And with her innocence both gazing up into his eyes while remaining in his hands, she learns what he is made of and of how he cares enough to pay attention to what she needs. This doesn’t always mean that she gets what she wants when she wants it. But it means that he knows the difference and provides as he can.

There isn’t a BabyGirl in the world that doesn’t shrink up when receiving those pats to the back of her diaper. They are his way of showing pride of her without saying a word. To be patted with Daddy hands, whether on her diaper or elsewhere, is the reassurance that he is still paying attention and that she is still loved and that she is still gushed over.

Being a creature of touch, a BabyGirl needs to know that she is cherished. And that there is someone always thinking of her. Moments of silence are wonderful. But when dealing with certain insecurities, silence isn’t always golden … unless you know you will always be kept close at hand – no matter what.

And then the cradle, that time in his arms that began by him picking her up with his hands, showing the physical strength. And holding her, showing the emotional strength. And remaining with her in his arms, showing the strength of control.

You can tell a lot about a Daddy from his hands, not by what they look like but by how they make you feel. Yes, strength is physical as well as emotional. It is powerful as well as controlled.

And in a Daddy’s hands, you learn so much about what you mean to him. And a lifetime in his care may very well secure insecurities, quell fears and discharge apprehensions. All a BabyGirl has to do is reach out and take hold of … The Daddy Hands.
