Being There vs. Being There for You

Been feeling really challenged to step up my romantic pursuit of Rylie. If you are from Arkansas that's not what I mean. You people are gross (You know who you are!). Let me explain...

I am on a 20 year plan to capture Rylie's heart. I want to make sure that Rylie feels more pursued by me than any person on this planet. That's my job as her father, not just to be there for her but to go after her, to pursue her. I call it a romantic pursuit because that's what it is and that's what daddies do.

Romantic: characterized by a preoccupation with love or by the idealizing of love or one's beloved, displaying or expressing love or strong affection, ardent; passionate; fervent.

Girls, is that the type of pursuit you dream of having from your father? Of course it is. I think everyone wants to be pursued "ardently, passionately, fervently".

So I bought Rylie the High School Musical Nintendo Wii game where it's basically hsm karoake. Let's just say we were rocking it out last night as loud as we could. She was ecstatic. She was a singer. She was a performer. I was a hero. I was her hero. Last night was a seed that I sowed that I will reap during her teenage years and for the rest of her life.

Incidently, Rylie was not the only one having the time of her life singing...bet on it. Daddies don't just show up, daddies go all out.
