Today, I travelled 2 1/2 hours from Eastern Washington to Seattle to hang out with my grown daughter.
She is a professional and a college graduate who is living the big life in the big city.
I don't see her often anymore, but today I arrived at her place late morning bearing purple carnations (her favorite color), a Starbucks gift card, (Hey, this is Seattle, and she loves coffee like Dad).
We went out to brunch, (Dad treated of course), we stopped and got some more coffee on our way back to her place.
And then I did some Dad projects for her in her apartment.
We laughed, cried and discussed old times, we had a great time.
And then I drove home thinking, just, damn, they grow up so quickly. I love her so much.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Thanks Dad
What a lovely day you had.
I have 2 daughters and 3 sons and talked to a couple of them.
One is out west but the rest of them are clearing away snow,raking roofs,and knocking away huge icicles.
Snowing again now (Eastern MA)
Your daughter sounds like a lovely young lady.

What a nice thought and question.
Our oldest daughter is working in Honolulu and we’ll see her next in May. I moved our middle daughter to Denver three weeks ago and we spent two days driving and two days getting her settled in her new apartment. That was a great four days. She was working today, so didn’t get a chance to talk to her. Lastly, today is our son’s birthday and I wished him Hapy Birthday at 5 AM. His girlfriend is visiting from out of state so he’s fully occupied this weekend.
My 16 yr old daughter we adopted from China when less than 2. Walking hand in hand along the bay under a beautiful sunset here in Hawaii. How swift like the wind is the time; how precious like all the world’s jewels & gold is a daughter!
Spent most of the day with my beautiful 88 yo mother!! Had a great time
All our children are precious, we love them and then they grow up and go away...and we pray...
Took the daughters on their first ski trip.
Yup, moms are precious too :-)
Sweet, how old are they?
I was with someone’ daughter today, at the range.
5’-1”, long brown hair, beautiful smile, funny and smokin...maybe 45 year old and recently “Dayvorced”...
Hey, any day at the range is paradise!
This thread has got me on the edge of crying. Daughters are indeed precious.
Indeed FRiend, you have girls?
Best part is she is in management for security at Levi Stadium.
Really just want to kiss them pretty lips.....
LOL
Going to dinner next Friday...
I have no daughters. I’m a mom, and I spent the day with all of my teenaged sons, including the one in college. We all had a nice dinner together and then some hot chocolate. Then we sat and talked.
It’s nice that many of you dads are spending time with your daughters.
Seen this, thought you might wanna check in.
I’m with someone’s daughter right now too.
Blonde and easily bribed by chocolates, fast car and a platinum card.
No girls, just a sister, mom, aunts and grandmas. One of these days I would love to have a daughter.
Get outta here Hollywood boy :-), you’re ruining my thread!
