From a longer article on fatherhood by Timothy Dalrymple:
Every man should have a daughter, if only for his own sanctification. If a daughter comes your way, know the truth that she will love you with all her heart if you let her. Cherish her, and she will be a daddy’s girl. Love her, and your heart will expand to encompass the immensity of her soul. Sacrifice yourself for her, and soon you will discover that you will do just about anything to make her happy. Even if it requires you to grow up a little.
My overall desire is that my love had been less selfish, but I’m thankful that love has been given more freely and easily than I am capable of.
