Everyone knows how much Daddy loves songs about Daughters. Daddy heard a new song today that he really likes so he wants to share it with CJ so she has the lyrics. Since he is missing her a whole bunch at the moment this song helped to make him smile and get through the night.
Daughters Lyrics
Artist(Band):John Mayer
I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls are continually changed
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me
Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now I'm left
Cleaning up the mess he made
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart
On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the guide and the weight of her world
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too [x3]
This evening was rough for Daddy. He misses his Princess and some nights it is more rough than others. Pray for Daddy, this summer situation may be coming to an end soon. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.
This blog will chronicle the journey between a new father and his daughter. It will highlight the ups and the downs, and all the lessons learned. It is my prayer that "C.J. and Me" will be an inspiration to all that the bond between father and daughter can be strong. It will also show the world that there are REAL men who help develop stellar women who will go on and shake up the world. Enjoy the journey and look daily to see what new and exciting things are going on in our lives!

The Cold Shoulder for July18
Stopped home today and Daddy was given the cold shoulder by CJ. When it was time for him to say goodbye, he said, "Bye CJ." Normally Daddy would get a salutation back. He would at least get a smile or a whimper. Today however, CJ gave her Daddy an under the eye look and shrugged her shoulder. CRUSHED was how Daddy walked down the stairs and out the door. His Princess is not happy with the current state of coming and going and quite frankly could care less that her Daddy is working. CJ wants her due time. No money can buy it and no gift will do. she wants her Daddy. This pierces Daddy because CJ has made a choice for him and threw the ball in his court to score or miss the shot. Daddy is going to pray since he knows prayer changes things, people, and situations. This prayer will be that CJ misses her Daddy when he leaves. Oh yeah, yesterday she cried when her uncle left buy not her Daddy. What is a Daddy to do?

Missing In Action
OK, let me explain my absence for the past two days. On Thursday I came home from a week at work and fell out, nothing more, nothing less. However before I did i managed to strip the internet cord that went into the modem. that meant no internet unitl it was fixed. So that explains Thursday and Friday night with no blog to read.
Which brings me to today. Here we are on a hot Saturday night. Today was spent hangnig out. After waiting on the repairman until 2pm we went out after that to pick up CJ and few things she needed. We then went to a cookout that was imrpomptu but was well worth it. For the most part CJ was the only child there. That did not stop her from running all around and getting into any and everything she could. There was a screen tent to protect us from the bugs but CJ felt the need to go in and out of that. She also had a fascination with the stairs which were concrete and were riught behind the grill. Now Daddy sees how she messed up her face before. She is daring and will not listen to many people. Her listening has to be worked on becasue she is going to hurt herself not doing so.
CJ hung with her great aunt today. That was because she gave CJ her own piece of chicken which CJ devoured. She ate well and so did Daddy and now they are home ready to go to sleep. Daddy also enjoyed some golf with CJ while in the backyard. CJ knows that she is suppose to swing the club, she just has to understand that she she swing at the ball not other people. It was a great day and we pray we get more like. it. Prayer chnages things, people, and situations!

Broken Chairs Everywhere
CJ is wrecking my home! Mommy sent me a picture of a chair that is now broken because of my Princess. Now CJ is getting a little out hand and I guess Daddy will have to have a talk with her once he arrives home. For the past few days CJ would say hello when I called home and then goodbye when I was done. When she did come to the telephone she would not say much. Daddy is hoping that she is all talk on tomorrow. Pray that Daddy can get home very quickly. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Coming Along
Well another day has come to an end and that means Daddy and Cj are a day closer to seeing each other. Daddy called home today and spoke with CJ for a minute. She seems to not want to talk much with Daddy when he calls. She always seems to be preoccupied. Well as long as Cj is enjoying her summer days Daddy is pleased.

Butter Baby! OK, (It Was Margarine)
At 1:10pm Daddy received a text from Mommy that read this way, "Why did ur daughter go in the fridge, take a stick of margarine out its box n proceed to take a bite out of it? I was ready ti kill her...lol. Njoy ur afternoon. (Forgive the text language)
Now when Daddy saw the message he instantly replied, " Why are you not feeding my baby?" If the child is willing to eat butter things must be pretty bad, lol! Mommy assured Daddy that his child was receiving all the nourishment she needed.
Today Daddy heard CJ and she told him goodbye. She sounded like she was too involved in what she was doing to listen or interact with her Daddy. Daddy was glad to hear her enjoying her herself but could have used a, "Hi Daddy" today. Oh well there is always tomorrow.
God is still making moves in Daddy and CJ's lives. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

CJ Was Not Happy
I just recapped the entire day and then it did not save.
CJ was not happy in church today.
Daddy and Mommy tried to figure out why?
She was much better afterward.
Her aunt says it was an ugly man in church, (very non-christian like of her).
Daddy had to go back to work.
He gave CJ a kiss goodbye and told her he loved her.
CJ told her Daddy she loved him back.
Daddy can not wait until next week already.
