Well, I’m missing my little girl. I know, she’s not so little anymore. She’s all grown up and her mom and dad are very proud of her. Do you ever hear music or see something on TV that brings up special memories? There’s an AT&T wireless commercial that’s been playing on TV quite a bit lately that jogs my memory of my early days with my daughter. It’s about a little girl who secretly puts her favorite little stuffed animal monkey in her dad’s briefcase before he leaves on a business trip. He finds the monkey and takes several pictures and sends them back to the family on his cell phone. What I love about this commercial are the expressions on the little girl’s face. It’s just shear happiness and love. The very last one where she hugs her dad when he returns home from his trip is precious. That folks, is pure and unconditional love. If you’re a dad with a daughter, that picture ought to bring up a special memory or two. There are few times in life when you get that kind of feeling. If you still have a little girl in your home, cherish those moments. They pass too quickly.
The picture above is my best shot at trying to freeze that last picture from the video, but it’s a little fuzzy.
