    This was super sweet and I pray he lives long enough to walk her down the aisle when she gets married too! What a special relationship.

    The way she said "My daddy's not going to go." broke my heart. As much as she loves her grandpa, in that moment it hurt to have to ask him to fill that whole in her life. 💔😢

    I’m a granddad and I find this to be a wonderful heart warming video. That young lady made that granddads day by asking him and I’m sure what ever was on his calendar for that day will just have to wait. ❤️

    My daughter was murdered in may of 2020-just a few days before mothers day- leaving a six year old son.
    The class had colored a poem to take home for their "mothers". When my grandson went back to school his
    'poem' came home in his backpack! He cried and said he didn't have a moma any more....
    I put that poem in a fancy frame and we took it to the cemetery!
    A lot of children don't have an 'in residence' parent--but they have a person who takes care of them. Life is tough, and words hurt.
    I am so glad your Princess had a Prince for the dance!

    Omg. She is so adorable. When she said “my daddys not going to” I lost it.
    I lost my dad to suicide when I was 5 years old, so I know the feeling. Thank God for my stepdad, who filled out the “job”. But I often still think “what would my life be like, if he was still here” and I am 48 y.o. ❤

    We went through similar experiences with my two daughter’s . We never “knew” who’d be so Perfect for such a “leading role” as this!!?? It’s been my Dad as well and he has been there for them no questions asked or if he was even busy!? He’d always oblige and cancel anything he might have had going on!! He’s been the most consistent Man of the girl’s life! And he has just walked my Girl down the Isle and it all started just about this Sweet Baby Girls age with Grandpa!!

    Years ago, my girlfriend's granddaughter was living with us. One of these dances came up when she was in first grade and her dad was a lowlife. She was scared to ask me if I wanted to go. Gramma said "just ask him". Well she asked. Not only did I say yes, we got in the car and went shopping. Came back with the dress, shoes, everything. It actually was a fun time!

People think it's the material things that are important, but the love & strong bonds are crucial to children's happiness, welfare & confidence, too. Hope they had lots of fun at the dance! You're doing a brilliant job with her Mum, she's precious!

    My grand daughter’s school is having a father- daughter dance. Her Daddy told her that he had to much going on. In my mind, I wanted to say, you don’t work, so what is so important that he could not go. So, she asked her mother’s boyfriend which is my son and he told her, he would be honored to go with her. He has been more of a father to her than her own Dad. It takes more than a spermicide to be a father and my son has stepped up to the plate for this child.

      @@hernameispekka_Rebecca I don't think such events are made out of malicious intent . Yes I have sympathy towards kids who can't bring their 'dads' , but such events do give dads a chance to connect with their children and be appreciated. Maybe the schools can rename the events as Valentines day parent-daughter dance or sth to be more inclusive .

    This reminds me so much of my dad and baby girl. My dad took my daughter to her first daddy daughter dance. My dad who never dressed up showed up dressed to the hilt with a corsage and took her out for the evening and they had the most precious picture from the dance. I know my dad loved me but to see the absolute love the had for her since the moment she was born was amazing. Hepassed away not long after that. It's been 12 years and my daughter is 20 and the one picture that had always hung and still hangs in her apartment is that picture from their dance
