Dancing with Daddy

There is something special about a little girl dancing with her daddy. No matter how old she gets, she is never too old to dance with him. At least that is how I feel with my daddy. I was a girl scout from first grade all the way through senior year of high school, and honestly, I might still be a member... I do not know. I stayed in girl scouts primarily for the annual father-daughter dance. This dance fostered my love of Elvis, and it was something special we looked forward to doing every year. I don't know if it is because I'm the oldest, or the only daughter, but there has always been something really special about my relationship with my dad.

Throughout those Girl Scout years, I would request "Can't Help Fallin' in Love" and they would usually play it at the dance. I was surprised at the Sophomore Parents' Weekend Dance this weekend that the band performed this song first. I grabbed my dad and we danced to the song, and then they followed it with "Blue Suede Shoes." I didn't care who was watching, and of course my dad didn't care either. We happily danced right by the bandstand and it was a glorious time.

Gotta treasure these fun moments with your parents, they don't happen that often so you gotta take advantage of them and keep them close to your heart.
