Your first love. Your first hero.
Long before anyone else held your heart, there was the man who held your hand.
He stands quietly before the day begins, straightening his tie, steadying his breath, reading words he hopes he can get through. Not because he is losing a daughter, but because he is giving the world one of his greatest gifts.
Then comes the moment he has been preparing for his whole life.
One last veil to straighten.
One last embrace.
One last walk before he places your hand in another’s.
And though everyone sees a bride, he still sees the little girl who first called him Dad.
Because for a father, this isn’t simply giving his daughter away.
It’s the beautiful, bittersweet privilege of watching his first love begin a new chapter.
