Every girl dreams of her wedding day, down to the very last detail. I've been dreaming of my wedding day since I was a little girl. The one thing I have figured out is the song I will dance to with my dad. I have chosen "Daddy's Hands" by Holly Dunn. It is an old school, country western song about a strict father who although very strict shows kindness and love in other ways. This song has always reminded me of my dad, who was very strict with me and my siblings growing up, but was kind and gentle if we were sick or sad. It is amazing how a song can remind you of someone that's in your life to the T. That is how "Daddy's Hands" is for me, it describes exactly how my dad is. Even though I have a long way to go before I get married, if I do at all, I have known since I was ten that this song is the one I am going to dance to with my dad on my wedding day. I can't just pick any song for this special event, I have thought long and hard about my dance with my dad on the day he gives me away to that special man and there's no other song I would want to use then "Daddy's Hands". Every time I hear this song, it brings tears to my eyes, makes me think of growing up as a little girl, and the woman I have become because of my dad. I may have thought him to be unfair as a little girl and mean because he was so strict, but today I'm very thankful because had he not been strict I would not be the woman I am today. Like the lyrics from the song "daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong, daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand, there was always love in daddy's hands."
No matter what I did or how much trouble I got myself into, there was always love in my daddy's hands.
