Butterfly kisses
flash back-The HOPE center's Fathers day father/daughter dance.
Walker sat in his suit waiting for Alex to finish getting Angela ready for their "date" tonight. It was the annual Father/Daughter dance at the HOPE center, Gage was also suppose to meet them at the ranch and suprizingly Gage was running late. For almost a whole week almost all Gage could talk about was taking Megan to the dance tonight. Alex came down stairs with the camera to take pictures of Walker and Angela, and Gage and Megan. Angla came down stairs wearing her purple lacy dress that she wore for her formal in the Miss Texas pageant. Gage finally arrived, and he looked very nice in his suit, in his arms he carried one-and-a-half year old Megan wearing a pink lacey dress. Megan had pleaded with Syd that night to wear it after she heard what Angela would be wearing, so they could look alike. After taking a few pictures Walker, Gage, and the girls got into Walker's truck to head into the Hope center.
Later…The DJ had announced that this was the last song for the night. As everyone move onto the dance floor, Walker looked down at his six-year-old daughter who had her arms wrapped around his waist as they swayed back and forth to the music.
There's two things I know for sure.
She was sent here from heaven,
and she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
she talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.
And I thank God for all of the joy in
my life, But most of all, for...
Walker loved this song and his mind wandered back to several little moments in Angela's life that he thought fit perfectly in the song. But like in the song Walker realizes that one day he would have to give Angela away
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk beside the pony
daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny,
daddy, but I sure tried."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong,
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning,
And butterfly kisses at night.
All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by
Precious butterfly
Spread your wings and fly
She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise,
and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride room
just staring at her,
she asked me what I'm thinking,
and I said "I'm not sure,
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
Then she leaned over...and gave me...
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
Sticking little flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle, daddy, it's just about time"
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy?"
"Daddy, don't cry."
With all that I've done wrong,
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning,
And butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask God for more, man, this is what love is
I know I've gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses
When the song ended Walker looked across the dance floor and saw Gage holding a sleeping Megan. The men quickly load the girls into the back seat of the truck to head for home by time they got to the ranch Angela was also asleep. After saying their goodbyes Walked carried Angela up to her room and kissed her good night, then Alex came into the room and got Angela ready for bed.
