Most of the time the term Daddy's Girl is reserved for a girl who is the special favorite of her father.
I recently met a person who told a rather interesting story. In this case, Daddy's Girl assumes an entirely different meaning.
This person told of jokingly telling his wife of many years that he was not man enough to wear a pink shirt. Her instantaneous reply, "You've got that right!"
On several occasions, the wife would remind her husband that her father would do things differently than he was doing them.
Once while watching a TV Western about the wagon trains heading West, the husband asked her if she would like to have traveled West on a wagon train? She told him, "Yes, if my Dad went with me."
The husband said his father in law once drew his fist back to hit him because of a very minor disagreement. The father in law once told his daughter, the one in question here, that he always preferred her younger sister to her.
The man confessed to me that his marriage was basically a sham. It was always lived out with the wife's father the center of attention.
What is hard to understand is she considers her father a hero and he considers her younger sister the apple of his eye.
Why would I devote a Post to this strange subject?
Maybe, just maybe, someone else is living through this nightmare and they should be encouraged that with the Grace of God they can make it through. The man telling me the story is a walking testimony to that truth. Life Hurts. God Heals. Church Helps!
Finally, being a pastor is happy, hard work!
