Father Daughter Dance

I am often proud of our little corner of the world. We have our share of really cool people that do some pretty cool stuff. This weekend I had the honor of escorting these two beautiful young ladies to our local father-daughter dance. This is an annual event that raises money for cancer research. The original organizer of this event was a dear classmate of mine from grade school through high school, Tanya Sharpe. Tanya was a kind and generous person with a large heart. Unfortunately, she lost her battle with cancer a few years ago. Our town misses Tanya dearly. Some of her friends and family continue to host this event in her honor. While I will always consider it a privilege to escort my girls anywhere, taking them to this event that honors the memory of an old friend was extra special. We have an opportunity to be present in their lives. Take that opportunity every single chance you get. P.S. Yes, they are much better dancers than me. Yes, they are beautiful and I will definitely have my hands full soon. Yes, I have been practicing cleaning the shotgun on the front porch. Jersey is 14, Wren is 8. I am blessed beyond measure.
