The school playground
a basis of duality for so many people.
Children playing voluntarily together…while parents are forced into proximity. Bound by name and schedule.
The birthgiver of your daughter’s best friend.
They are so happy together… playing tag.
So you speak to the woman you would never choose to voluntary , the one trapped inside your social circle by obligation, not affinity.
You exchange words you don’t mean, smiles that don’t reach the eyes. Not for you. Never for you.
But for your children….you do anything.

Don’t underestimate a father’s daughter.
Don’t underestimate a daughter’s father.
He stood between her and the world. until she learned how to stand on her own two feet…and then he stepped back, watching the fire he helped ignite.
She was raised with a spine, not silence. Taught early that love does not require surrender.
He tries to be the example of the kind of man she deserves. And when he fails, she will tell him. Because accountability runs both ways.
He does not rule her. He prepares her. He makes sure she is strong enough to remind him who he promised to be.
She will never have to prove her worth to him. In his eyes, she was enough…..long before she knew the meaning of the word.
Their bond is not fragile….. it is forged. He is the only man she will never have to compete for, and the first who would go to war for her.
Don’t **** with a father’s daughter.
Don’t **** with a daughter’s father.
