Seeing forever in those eyes

Just one of the most endearing things for a father: when he's holding his daughter and she pauses to look into his eyes. For a brief moment she is a year old, 5 years old, 10... 20... 30... you see her looking at you as you know she will the rest of her life... the way she studies your eyes and acknowledges something about you only she is aware of.

Then suddenly she'll do something cute - make a coo or giggle, and it snaps you back to reality. Each of those moments are precious gold.

Aw! That's so sweet. Your daughter will appreciate your words. It's wonderful to see a dad bare some deep feelings!
