![Some girls grow up wondering if they’re worthy of love.She’s growing up watching what love looks like.She sees a dad who shows up.Who is [mostly] patient.Who fixes things, protects her, makes her laugh, and reminds her every single day that she matters. He also never gives up on trying to be the best dad he can. So one day when someone tries to give her less than that… she’ll know.Because the first man she ever loved already showed her the standard.And yeah… the bar is set pretty damn high. 💛#daddydaughter #daddysprincess #dadgoals](https://lexienoelleundem.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
