I have a number of teenage friends on Facebook, in part because of my husband's job as youth pastor (I love my youth group kids), and in part because I have friends who are now old enough to have teenagers themselves. (Why, yes, I do feel old. Thanks.)
I saw this tonight in my newsfeed, posted by the eldest daughter of my friend DocAwk:
Now, the green is her boyfriend. The purple is me (I prescribed Oreos and hugs last night). It wasn't until a few minutes ago that I saw the blue comment...her dad.
This, my friends...THIS is a good dad.
I hope Hubby will have this kind of relationship with our girls in another ten years, when they reach this young lady's age.
Doc, I am honored to call you my friend.
My Dad expected the rules to be followed, but he let us know it was for own safety, we only rebelled a little. He was always there, a strict Dad, but still my friend.
ReplyDeleteHe's still my friend. She is lucky to have a Dad like that, as are your daughters.
