So I stopped by my printer this week to pick up my monthly newsletter and the guy who helps me normally says to me, "Hey, I really loved the article on the front page ." His name is Preston, and he was referring to the article about a little girl who blew kisses into a box, and wrapped it up for her Daddy.
I explained to him how the story touched me because of my baby girl and he shared with me that he has a 3-year old daughter. His face immediately lit up. He talked about her growing up and learning things and even kicking a soccer ball around with him in the back yard.
On a couple of occassions during our conversation, I could see that he had very slight tears welling up in his eyes. It was so obvious that he was just head over heels for his daughter.
As we talked further, we discovered that he and I actually went to high school together, AND actually played soccer together as 10th graders. We talked for nearly 40 minutes about "things".
Amazing to think that I been doing business with Preston for about 4 months and a conversation about out daughters led to this discovery!!
I am always encouraged at the number of Dads I see around who are spending time with their young kids at the mall, at sports games, at the park, where ever. It's nice to know that I am not the only one who is so smitten with his daughter (or son).
