RE: "In Toga-Armor Clad" (poem) ... My Daughter's Scholarship Entry
Hard to know what to say. You must be so proud, @quillfire. What a magnificent tribute to a father. That poem gave me goosebumps.
Clearly, you might feel redundant, but she doesn't. As a daughter, I am sad I didn't have more adult time with my dad. Gone 19 years and I still miss him. I, too, am a Daddy's girl.
@fionasfavourites,
Hi Fiona.
I got goosebumps too. That's not an easy poem to write and I know how much work went into it. All those things she mentioned, we've talked about each of them a thousand times and so the poem is loaded with memories.
You know, it's funny, despite all the feminist-inspired political-correctness, I've never once heard either a girl or a woman disclaim the moniker, "Daddy's Girl." Indeed, any female lucky enough to sport the label wears it like a badge of honor.
This is the kind of stuff that gets to us tough guys. :-)

Ironically, it is because of my father I learned to - his words - stand on my own two feet.
